Re: [MMM] Mistake in Alexander Wood's "The Physics of Music"

Hi Jeff

I simply get frustarted when something doesn't quite jive with my
calculator. I wonder if its me or the book? Thanks for letting me
know I'm right.

Could you please explain how you arrived at the decimal numbers for
the pythagorean scale we discussed below? I come up with whole
