In math, the three means are known as arithmetic mean (AM), harmonic mean (HM), and geometric mean (GM) respectively. However, ''harmonic mean'' is said with respect to a length of string to be divided, and collides with the more common usage of ''harmonic'', which is said with respect to frequency. For fear of confusion, those terms are avoided and ''inverse-arithmetic mean'' is preferred instead. | In math, the three means are known as arithmetic mean (AM), harmonic mean (HM), and geometric mean (GM) respectively.
