The formula I've given here for working out cent values is correct, but I'm sure there must be a nicer way of displaying it - can anybody make it look pretty? --Camembert —Preceding undated comment added 18:52, 21 October 2002
- sadly, not yet. There has been a sugestion on the mailing list to implement nicer formulae. I keep meaning to being itup again, but seeeing as we an't even agree ona simple change of URL... -- Tarquin 19:09 Oct 21, 2002 (UTC)
I'm not a mathematician, but I have my suspicions that the formula I added for musical cents, ie:
1200 log(a/b)
n = -------------
log(2)
Is equivalent to n = 1200 log2(a/b). Am I right, and if I am, would it be better to change the formula to read that, or leave it as it is so that people can do the sums on their pocket calculators without having to know how to change bases? --Camembert —Preceding undated comment added 02:44, 30 October 2002
- Yes, it's right (Logarithmic Identities). Put both formulae in. :-) -- Tarquin —Preceding undated comment added 11:18, 30 October 2002

- Hi, "Cent" was used as a subdivision of the Prussian Pound :
100 pounds = 1 Centner or 30 Lots.
1 Lot = 30 Quentchen;
1 QUentchen = 10 Cent
1 Cent = 10 Korn
