*Warm and ~~generous~~, ~~a little contrarian at times~~

*Warm and magnanimous, steadfast to her principles

** ~~[[Windermere]] and~~ [[Tamil]] ~~(She would have had to be able to read it to read premodern math texts and Jopah's writings)~~

** [[Tamil]]

*tunings: JI, 22, 31

~~==Historical backdrop==~~

*Music theory: their scales are based on diamonds, CPS's, constant-structure scales

*Matrix algebra, from earlier work on tempering out small commas in JI.

**That's where the zeta function comes in, sorta.

In fT 2076, an academic took notice of Askuucis's work and invited her to serve in the University of Cdam Sre as a professor of music. She accepted the offer and would continue to teach there for 14 years. Among her students were several notable Talman composers and popular musicians.

In fT 2090, Askuucis retired from her academic post and secluded herself, intending to focus solely on composition. She lived in a house in Sŋooron until she died of a stroke in fT ~~2096~~.

==Contributions to music theory==

Building on Jopah's and Tăhus's work on constant structure scales, in her treatise ''Some Equal Divisions of the Octave'' Askuucis described a variety of equal temperaments derived from equating the step sizes in constant-structure scales. She believed that this development would be a step [no pun intended] towards more flexible music. Though her work was not the first one to describe the process of tempering out commas (it was known for small commas such as 2401/2400), nor the first to mention the idea of equal temperament, it was the first to systematically derive equal temperaments from other scales.
