==Contributions to music theory==
==Contributions to music theory==
Despite her pioneering work on EDOs, Sgutsis did not consider herself an EDO advocate -- she viewed her work on EDOs as mathematical curiosity. She found EDOs too restrictive (if the division was not fine enough as to effectively be just intonation).
Sgutsis's work on tuning theory includes:
*Cross-sets
*Cross-sets
*Properties of particular equal temperaments: 17edo, 19edo, 22edo, 31edo, 34edo, and 41edo
*Properties of particular equal temperaments: 19edo, 22edo, 27edo, 31edo, 34edo, 41edo, 46edo
**41, 46 and 58 smallest edos that represent 13-limit JI. Sgutsis often used higher edos than 31 but that didn't stick; it was 31edo which caught on.
*Horograms and MOS scales
*Horograms and MOS scales
*The Riemann zeta function and accurate EDOs
*Noted that 12edo, 19edo, 22edo, 31edo, 41edo and 46edo were accurate because of the Riemann zeta function
*Proposed 41edo as a system approximating [[Naquian]] scales that divide the perfect fifth into 4 or 8 equal parts, in particular building on Jopah's work.
