In my and [[User:Schrodingasdawg|Adam]]'s experience many newcomers to xen are daunted by the math-heavy presentation of tunings and basic MOS/temperament ideas on this wiki. I propose we section off or subpage all the math-heavy parts of articles (for example I'd prefer [[Fokker block#Mathematical_description|all of this]] to go in [[Fokker block/Math]]). Introductory articles and sections should only assume high-school algebra and shouldn't use linear algebra terms, perhaps except for the most common RTT terms like [[rank]].

: Full agreement from my side. Having university knowledge in mathematics unfortunately too often does not go hand in hand with the ability to communicate this to others. I myself - despite high motivation - too often feel locked out when trying to follow the explanation of an abstract concept based on more than one other abstract (and unknown to me) concept. Looking for a possible entry point, I usually suffer a stack overflow. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 11:47, 16 January 2021 (UTC) | |||
