the only thing that makes me cry more than the marauders fandom is math

#marauders #marauders era #the black brothers #i hate math #i hope however invented math is burning in hell #wtf is math #i hate my math teacher #i hate pre calc #i also hate trig

[realredhead10]

math???? Is so confusing???? in f(x)=1/2^4√x The 4 is the same as 1/4???? I thought it was an exponent?? It’s part of the square root?? Wtf am I doing 😭😭

#Math #wtf is math #Wait how do I do this #How do you stretch a graph??? #Pre calculus is dumb I should’ve taken amc :((

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. MARCH 11TH EVERYBODY

#young royals #i fucking HATE that they separated it #why the fuck do we have to wait SIX WHOLE DAYS FOR ONE EPISODE #*seven. my bad. i cannot math #update: wtf march 11th is the first day of ramadan. do they hate us

Soap’s the type of guy to be like “math is easy guys all you have to do is…”

And solves the most complicated complex math equation you’ve ever seen without a calculator

#john soap mactavish #and then tries to get everyone else to solve it to prove it #like no #you’re the only math nerd here #call of duty #he also like does the actual math in the most bizarre ways #like he’s adding multiplying dividing in a way only he knows #good luck trying to figure out wtf he’s doing #also forgot to add that he just does chemistry without an issue #he knows how to do chemistry so well he’s one step away #from being #Walter White

1st of all... why did no one tell me about this commercial???? (I swear Joe Keery and his commercials... I can't)

2nd of all. I did the math. The math mathed. The math said:

this came out in 2014

stranger things came out in 2016

Steve was a junior in season 1

Two years prior, Steve was a freshman

If you add all of this info up, the only result is that this is what Steve Harrington looked like as a freshman.

You can't argue with me, math is never wrong.

#not hard to believe Eddie Munson was crushing on him #I big brained to make this post #math is always right #can you believe he was 22??? #so cute #and it was almost 9 years ago wtf #joe keery #steve harrington #stranger things #joe keery commercials

Me thinking I'll never use math again after high school : *happy*

The world and the career I chose to study: haha ! Math problems !

you know about musical tuning right? harmonics? equal temperament? pythagoras shit? of course you do (big big nerd post coming)

(i really dont know if people follow me for anything in particular but im pretty sure its mostly not this)

most of modern western music is built around the 12-EDO (12 equal divisions of the octave, the 12 tone equal temperament), where we divide the octave in 12 exactly equal steps (this means that there are 12 piano keys per octave). we perceive frequency geometrically and not arithmetically, as in that "steps" correspond to multiplying the frequency by a constant amount and not by adding to the frequency

an octave is a doubling of the frequency, so a step in 12-EDO is a factor of a 12th root of 2. idk the exact reason why we use 12-EDO, but two good reasons why 12 is a good number of steps are that

12 is a nice number of notes: not too small, not too big (its also generally a very nice number in mathematics)

the division in 12 steps makes for fairly good approximations of the harmonics

reason 2 is a bit more complex than reason 1. harmonics are a naturally occurring phenomena where a sound makes sound at the multiples of its base frequency. how loud each harmonic (each multiple) is is pretty much half of what defines the timbre of the sound

we also say the first harmonics sound "good" or "consonant" in comparison to that base frequency or first harmonic. this is kinda what pythagoras discovered when he realized "simple" ratios between frequencies make nice sounds

the history of tuning systems has revolved around these harmonics and trying to find a nice system that is as close to them while also avoiding a bunch of other problems that make it "impossible" to have a "perfect tuning". for the last centuries, we have landed on 12 tone equal temperament, which is now the norm in western music

any EDO system will perfectly include the first and second harmonics, but thats not impressive at all. any harmonic that is not a power of 2 is mathematically impossible to match by EDO systems. this means that NONE of the intervals in our music are "perfect" or "true" (except for the octave). theyre only approximations. and 12 steps make for fairly close approximations of the 3rd harmonic (5ths and 4ths), the 5th harmonic (3rds and 6ths) and some more.

for example, the 5th is at a distance of 7 semitones, so its 12-EDO ratio is 2^(7/12) ~= 1.4983, while a perfect 5th would be at 3/2=1.5 (a third harmonic reduced by one octave to get it in the first octave range), so a 12-EDO fifth sounds pretty "good" to us

using only 12-EDO is limiting ourselves. using only EDO is limiting ourselves. go out of your way, challenge yourself and go listen to play and write some music outside of this norm

but lets look at other EDO systems, or n-EDO systems. how can we measure how nicely they approximate the harmonics? the answer is probably that there is no one right way to do it

one way we could do it is by looking at the first k harmonics and measuring how far they are to the closest note in n-EDO. one way to measure this distance for the rth harmonic is this:

adding up this distance for the first k harmonics we get this sequence of measures:

(this desmos graph plots this formula as a function of n for k=20, which seems like a fair amount of harmonics to check)

the smallest this measure, the "best" the n-EDO approximates these k harmonics. we can already see that 12 seems to be a "good" candidate for n since it has that small dip in the graph, while n=8 would be a pretty"bad" one. we can also see that n=7 is a "good" one too. 7-EDO is a relatively commonly used system

now, we might want to penalize bigger values of n, since a keyboard with 1000 notes per octave would be pretty awful to play, so we can multiply this measure by n. playing around with the value k we see that this measure grows in direct proportion to k, so we could divide by k too to keep things "normalized":

plotting again, we get this

we can see some other "good" candidates are 24, 31, 41 and 53, which are all also relatively commonly used systems (i say relatively because they arent nearly as used as 12-EDO by far)

increasing k we notice something pretty interesting

(these are the same plots as before but with k=500 and k=4000)

the graph seems to flatten, and around 0.25 or 1/4. this is kinda to be expected, since this method is, in a very weird way, measuring how far a particular sequence of k values is from the extremes of an interval and taking the average of those distances. turns out that the expected distance that a random value is from the extremes of an interval it is in is 1/4 of the interval's length, so this is not that surprising. still cool tho

this way, we can define a more-or-less normalized measure of the goodness of EDO tuning systems:

(plot of this formula for k=20)

this score s_k(n) will hover around 1 and will give lower scores to the "best" n-EDO systems. we could also use instead 1-s_k(n), which will hover around zero and the best systems will have higher scores

my conclusion: i dont fucking now. this was complete crankery. i was surprised the candidates for n this method finds actually match the reality of EDO systems that are actually used

idk go read a bit about john cage and realize that music is just as subjective as any art should be. go out there and fuck around. "music being a thing to mathematically study to its limits" and "music being a meaningless blob of noise and shit" and everything in between and beyond are perfectly compatible stances. dont be afraid to make bad music cause bad music rules

most importantly, make YOUR music

idk if i’m supposed to ask here but could you do a frank zhang x reader fic? it doesn’t have to be elaborate, i just feel like there isn’t much frank content out there and i really really like your writing!! also i hope your holidays were great <333

Hopefully it’s not too late to make a Christmas themed piece even though it’s January bc nobody can tell me that frank zhang won’t dress up as santa for kids in Camp Jupiter.

Walking around Camp Jupiter, the presence of Christmas was in the air. Well, technically the presence of the Winter Solstice. Snow shouldn’t be in here but the legacies and children of the God Hiems made it so snow would be everywhere. The spirit of winter was ever present in New Rome. Children running around, stockings hanging in every house, carols sung from block to block. Christmas is indeed in the air and there’s only one thing missing.

“Where do you think Frank is?” Julia asked, the young legacy was given a break by Terminus for the winter. She had taken a liking to following you and Frank everywhere when Percy isn’t around. So far, babysitting has been placed into your duty. Where is Frank anyways?

“He’s about to miss the santa show” the child pouted. You sighed, rubbing Julia's shoulder as she clings onto you. Contrary to the typical demigod traits, Frank was never late. Never. This would be the first time he was ever late to anything. Worry lines etched on your brow, he couldn't have forgotten that today was Christmas.

Almost as if the gods had planned it, Frank was there. Except he’s not... Frank?

"Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas!" said a voice way too fake and low to be your boyfriend and yet it is him, and you can tell he was straining his voice to keep up the old grandpa appearance.

Screams and yells from children all around filled New Rome. Santa was here to ask for their gifts, and hopefully bring them their gifts as they were all tucked in bed in the wee hours of the night.

Yep, that was your boyfriend all right. The sweet, kind, and caring Frank Zhang. And you couldn't ask for much more.
