Sadly this article - seemingly an objective mathematical treatment of tuning - is simplistic to the point of worthlessness. No mention is made of stretched tuning, inharmonicity, or psycho-acoustic treatments of tuning. I expected more from Scientific American.

It’s a blog post by a mathematician who knows more about pure mathematics than music, and is riffing about a conversation she had with a Girl Scout troop.

We shouldn’t be expecting that to be equivalent to a PhD thesis about musical harmony or whatever.
