Zarbíá Scúdhainn (English: /zɑɹbiːˈɑː ˈskuːðən/; born: ????, died: ????) was a Tíogall-speaking mathematician, composer and music theorist. (I still don't really know if Duínidhe and Neoibhir should be separate countries)

Early life and education

Zarbíá was born in the city of Flian; her father, Fálchíd Scúdhainn, was a mathematics professor in the University of Flian and her mother, Osraí Brinne, was a ŋamsaí player. A precocious tomboy, early on she was taught mathematics and ŋamsaí by her parents; however, she was by and large self-taught. She entered the University of Óc Eo at age 15 and specialized at age 19.

Languages: Tíogall (native speaker), Clofabosin (non-native speaker), Koine Netagin (read), Old Netagin (read)

Music

Compositions

Scúdhainn’s compositions, many of them commissioned, number about 200 works in total. Many of them were described as “conceptual” or “constrained composition” by her contemporaries. Terse counterpoint is also common. However, she also liked exploring vocal music and folk-like themes.

Mathematical output

Scúdhainn contributed to algebra, number theory, and algebraic geometry.
