In mathematics, the flatness (symbol: ⏥) of a surface is the degree to which it approximates a mathematical plane. The term is often generalized for higher-dimensional manifolds to describe the degree to which they approximate the Euclidean space of the same dimensionality. (See curvature.) Flatness in homological algebra and algebraic geometry means, of an object in an abelian category, that is an exact functor. See flat module or, for more generality, flat morphism. (Wikipedia).

Introducing Modes of the major scale | Maths and Music | N J Wildberger
Let's introduce the classical modes of the major scale: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian. But we want to do this in two different ways! In our next video, we will be wanting to generalize this construction considerably, and also to free it from this curren

Pitch, Saxes, and Transpositions | Maths and Music | N J Wildberger
Tones, notes and pitches are subtly different concepts. In music theory, the crucial role of transposition motivates us to a flexible approach to the musical duo decimal system of note naming. One way that this arises is through the various different keys that band and orchestral instrumen

The impossibility of a Pythagorean scale and "sqrt(2)" | Maths and Music | N J Wildberger

Just because the tangent plane to a multivariable function is flat, it doesn't mean that point is a local minimum or a local maximum. There is a third possibility, new to multivariable calculus, called a "saddle point".
