For mediant in music, see mediant . Mediant should not be confused with median . In mathematics , the mediant sometimes called freshman sum of two vulgar fraction fraction s math frac a c text and frac b d math is math frac a b c d . math that is to say, the numerator and denominator of the mediant are the sums of the numerators and denominators of the given fractions, respectively. In general, this is an operation on fractions rather than on rational numbers . That is to say, for two rational numbers q sub 1 sub , q sub 2 sub , the value of the mediant depends on how the rational numbers are expressed using Equivalent fractions integer pairs . A way around this, where required, is to specify that both rationals are to be represented as fractions in their lowest terms with c 0, d 0 . With such a restriction, mediant becomes a well defined binary operation on rationals. The Stern Brocot tree provides an enumeration of all positive rational numbers, in lowest terms, obtained purely by iterative computation of the mediant according to a simple algorithm. Properties The mediant inequality An important property also explaining its name of the mediant is that it lies strictly between the two fractions of which it is the mediant If math a c b d math , then math frac a c frac a b c d frac ... relation math bc ad 1 math .

The name is taken from Ptolemy Ptolemy of Alexandria s term for one of his seven tonoi , or transposition keys Powers 2001a . This mode is the plagal mode plagal counterpart of the authentic Lydian mode fifth mode . In medieval theory the Hypolydian mode was described either as 1 the diatonic octave species from C to the C an octave higher, divided at the final F C D E F F G A B C or 2 a mode with F as final and an ambitus from the C below the final to the D above it. The third above the final, A corresponding to the reciting tone or tenor of the sixth psalm tone was regarded as having an important melodic function in this mode. The sequence of intervals was therefore divided by the final into a lower tetrachord of tone tone semitone, and an upper pentachord of tone tone tone semitone. However, from as early as the time of Hucbald the Hypolydian mode even more than the corresponding authentic mode, the Lydian mode Lydian was characterized by the predominance of B instead of B as the fourth degree above the final Powers 2001b .
