The ancient Greeks called these harmonics "multiples," and considered them to be a unique interval class separate from [[superparticular]] and [[Superpartient|superpartient]] intervals.

They may also be referred to as partials or overtones, but these words can have different meanings in the same context. &lt;em&gt;Harmonic&lt;/em&gt; usually refers to the sine wave components which make up a sound, which are whole-number multiples of the fundamental frequency (lowest tone). &lt;em&gt;Overtones&lt;/em&gt; consist of all harmonics except for the fundamental; thus the 1st overtone is actually the 2nd harmonic, and so on. Unlike harmonics, &lt;em&gt;Partials&lt;/em&gt; do not need to be related by whole-number multiples, but may instead be completely inharmonic.&lt;br /&gt;

The ancient Greeks called these harmonics &amp;quot;multiples,&amp;quot; and considered them to be a unique interval class separate from &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/superparticular"&gt;superparticular&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/Superpartient"&gt;superpartient&lt;/a&gt; intervals.&lt;br /&gt;
