Mapping: Difference between revisions
Cmloegcmluin (talk | contribs) →Temperamental rank: include linear algebra in list of mathematical sources for the term rank per https://en.xen.wiki/w/Rank_and_codimension, and revise statement about dimension to be less confusing |
Cmloegcmluin (talk | contribs) adding section for units to various temperament matrix pages, which I hope will help readers understand how they fit together |

The units of each entry of a mapping are g/p, read "generators per prime." Each mapping row corresponds to a different generator, and each mapping column corresponds to a different prime, and so the value of the mapping entry at the intersection of a given row and column tells how many of the corresponding generator are part of the temperament's approximation of the corresponding prime. | |||
