[math-fun] A mathemusical sequence
Can any of you mathemusicians spot the significance of the sequence 1,10,12,18,21,25,30? Jim
No idea, but now I'm curious. Any hints? It's not the number of notes in equal-tempered scales with decently tuned fifths. That's 5, 7, 12, 19... All the numbers are composite, so maybe that's relevant. On Wed, Jan 27, 2016 at 3:36 PM, James Propp <jamespropp@gmail.com> wrote:
Oops; that "1" is spurious. The correct sequence os 10,12,18,21,25,30.
