[sdiy] math question - somewhat OT

[Scott Gravenhorst]

         (n/12+v)
f = s * 2

where f is frequency in Hz, s is scale factor (constant), n
is an integer note number (increments 1 for each semitone)
and v is an integer representing an octave.

The constant value s can be set so that particular values of
n and v give the standard frequency values such as 440 Hz.
