The audio, On the Teeth of Wheels by Beat Frequency, is a sonification of the [[Stern-Brocot sequence#Quackery]] It was discovered independently by Moritz Stern (1858) and Achille Brocot (1861), along with its visualisation, the Stern-Brocot tree. Brocot was a watchmaker, and used the sequence to find best approximations for gear ratios. |
