'''Marin Mersenne''' was a French mathematician and music theorist. He is known for inventing mersenne primes, which are a big deal outside of musical tuning, but within music they define the [[mersenne comma]]s. He also invented a number of musical scales and contributed to the early precursors of [[regular temperament]] theory. | '''Marin Mersenne''' was a French mathematician and music theorist.
