In mathematics and tuning, the '''root mean square''' ('''RMS''') of two frequencies <math>f_1</math> and <math>f_2</math> is equal to <math>\sqrt{\frac{f_1^{2} + f_2^{2}}{2}}</math>. The RMS is also known as the '''quadratic mean'''. | In mathematics and tuning, the '''root mean square''' ('''RMS''') of two frequencies <math>f_1</math> and <math>f_2</math> is equal to <math>\sqrt{\frac{f_1^{2} + f_2^{2}}{2}}</math>.
