Merry Xmas Eve!

I'm not Christian, I'm Mathematician, but I love Xmas, Ymas and Zmas. I'm giving a talk on the math of tuning systems and I thought I'd share it here as a kind of present to y'all.

I'll start with the basics today and do the more advanced part tomorrow. But I hope even the basics contain a few twists that not everyone knows.

You can read my slides here:

math.ucr.edu/home/baez/tuning/

but they don't contain all the stuff I'm saying here... the stuff I'll say out loud in my talk.

(1/n)

I won't have the energy to add alt text to all of these, but I'll put the PDF here: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/tuning/tuning_talk.pdf
