2. Scale length (string instruments) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_length_(string...

   Smaller scale instruments are also quite commonly used by fully-grown players in jazz, folk music and similar ensembles. The system of conventional fractions is taken to its logical conclusion with string bass sizes, in that a full-size (4/4) bass is uncommon. Most basses are 3/4 or 7/8, and younger players can use 1/2 or even 1/4 size instruments.

   Heaviside cover-up method. The Heaviside cover-up method, named after Oliver Heaviside, is a technique for quickly determining the coefficients when performing the partial-fraction expansion of a rational function in the case of linear factors. [1][2][3][4]

4. Five-limit tuning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-limit_tuning

   5-limit Tonnetz. Five-limit tuning, 5-limit tuning, or 5-prime-limit tuning (not to be confused with 5-odd-limit tuning), is any system for tuning a musical instrument that obtains the frequency of each note by multiplying the frequency of a given reference note (the base note) by products of integer powers of 2, 3, or 5 (prime numbers limited to 5 or lower), such as 2 −3 ·3 1 ·5 1 = 15/8.

5. Seismic magnitude scales - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_magnitude_scales

   Seismic magnitude scales are used to describe the overall strength or "size" of an earthquake. These are distinguished from seismic intensity scales that categorize the intensity or severity of ground shaking (quaking) caused by an earthquake at a given location. Magnitudes are usually determined from measurements of an earthquake's seismic ...

6. Logarithmic scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_scale

   A base-10 log scale is used for the Y axis of the bottom left graph, and the Y axis ranges from 0.1 to 1,000. The top right graph uses a log-10 scale for just the X axis, and the bottom right graph uses a log-10 scale for both the X axis and the Y axis. Presentation of data on a logarithmic scale can be helpful when the data:

7. Chromatic scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_scale

   Chromatic scale drawn as a circle The diatonic scale notes (above) and the non-scale chromatic notes (below) [2] The twelve notes of the octave—all the black and white keys in one octave on the piano—form the chromatic scale. The tones of the chromatic scale (unlike those of the major or minor scale) are all the same distance apart, one ...
