Abacus Harmonicus

Abacus Harmonicus, or Abacum Arithmetico-Harmonicum is a table and tabular method described in Athanasius Kircher's comprehensive 1650 work on music, the Musurgia Vniversalis. The purpose is to generate counterpoint combinations. Also mentioned in early editions of the Encyclopædia Britannica, it is best described by the author's caption: "wonderful table that reveals all the secret art of counterpoint". (Wikipedia).

Harmonic Functions

If the Laplacian of a function is zero everywhere, it is called Harmonic. Harmonic functions arise all the time in physics, capturing a certain notion of "stability", whenever one point in space is influenced by its neighbors.
