    The two curves of this (2, 8)-torus link have linking number four. In mathematics, the linking number is a numerical invariant that describes the linking of two closed curves in three-dimensional space. Intuitively, the linking number represents the number of times that each curve winds around the other.

    Twelve-tone equal temperament (12 TET) is obtained by making all semitones the same size, with each equal to one-twelfth of an octave; i.e. with ratios 122 : 1. Relative to Pythagorean tuning , it narrows the perfect fifths by about 2 cents or ⁠ 1 / 12 ⁠ th of a Pythagorean comma to give a frequency ratio of 2 7 / 12 : 1 {\displaystyle ...
