In mathematics, the harmonic mean (sometimes called the subcontrary mean) is one of several kinds of average, and in particular one of the Pythagorean means. Typically, it is appropriate for situations when the average of rates is desired. The harmonic mean can be expressed as the reciprocal of the arithmetic mean of the reciprocals. As a simple example, the harmonic mean of 1, 2, and 4 is 3 1 1 + 1 2 + 1 4 = 1 1 3 ( 1 1 + 1 2 + 1 4 ) = 12 7 .
A harmonic series is the sequence of sounds where the base frequency of each sound is an integral multiple of the lowest base frequency. Pitched musical instruments are often based on an approximate harmonic oscillator such as a string or a column of air, which oscillates at numerous frequencies simultaneously.
