This "delta" is synonymous to degree of epimoricity

"Delta" seems to have a different meaning in terms like delta-rational chord. FloraC (talk) 08:26, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Historical term: "part"

I find that in Nicomachus's Introduction to Arithmetic that the difference between the numerator and denominator is referred to as the ratio's "part", as in superparticular. Perhaps you'd like to include that as a historical note. --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 20:35, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
