How Humans can Hear Fractions

The Taylor Series Podcast 4 years ago

Description

In this episode of the Taylor Series, we explore the concept of being able to hear fractions! That is, if you were to take a pipe and use it to generate a tone, then we can cut other pipes to fractions of that first one and get other tones -- that together make up recognizable cords and scales!

The Taylor Series aims help people love math. Whether you're a student in a math class or someone who has ever asked the question, "What was the big deal about Calculus?" there's something here for you.Also, I named this the Taylor Series after the mathematical construct created by James Gregory and formally introduced by Brook Taylor ... and I picked this one in particular because my name is Derrick Taylor. :)
