Paul Desmond's jazz composition "Take Five", in 5 4 time, was one of a number of irregular-meter compositions that The Dave Brubeck Quartet played. They played other compositions in 11 4 ("Eleven Four"), 7 4 ("Unsquare Dance"), and 9 8 ("Blue Rondo à la Turk"), expressed as 2+2+2+3 8. "Blue Rondo à la Turk" is an example of a signature that ...
The lower note is a constant A (440 Hz in either scale), the upper note is a C ♯ in the equal-tempered scale for the first 1", and a C ♯ in the just intonation scale for the last 1". Phase differences make it easier to detect the transition than in the previous sample.
For example, 1 / 4 , 5 / 6 , and −101 / 100 are all irreducible fractions. On the other hand, 2 / 4 is reducible since it is equal in value to 1 / 2 , and the numerator of 1 / 2 is less than the numerator of 2 / 4 . A fraction that is reducible can be reduced by dividing both the numerator ...
The significand [1] (also coefficient, [1] sometimes argument, [2] or more ambiguously mantissa, [3] fraction, [4] [5] [nb 1] or characteristic [6] [3]) is the first (left) part of a number in scientific notation or related concepts in floating-point representation, consisting of its significant digits. For negative numbers, it does not include ...
In the last two of the five versions of "Promenade" from Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky, 7 4 is mixed irregularly with other metres: (4th Promenade) 5 4, 6 4, and 7 4, with a single 3 4 bar at the end; (5th Promenade) four pairs of regularly alternating 5 4 and 6 4, then an irregular mixture of 5 4, 6 4, and 7 4 to the end. [17]
An example of a fraction that cannot be represented by a decimal expression (with a finite number of digits) is 1 / 3 , 3 not being a power of 10. More generally, a decimal with n digits after the separator (a point or comma) represents the fraction with denominator 10 n, whose numerator is the integer obtained by removing the separator.
For the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. For example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth (1/5 or 0.2), and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4. The reciprocal function, the function f(x) that maps x to 1/x, is one of the simplest examples of a function which is its own inverse (an involution).
4 throughout (effectively 11 4) regular alternation of 5 4 and 6 4 until the final two bars, which are 5 4 and C; irregular mixture of 5 4, 6 4, and 7 4, with a single 3 4 bar at the end; four pairs of regularly alternating 5 4 and 6 4, then an irregular mixture of 5 4, 6 4, and 7 4 to the end. [68] The opening measures are shown below:
