Talk:Harmonic mean

From AoPSWiki

I'm not sure I like the chosen name or statement of the inequality chain. Any thoughts on this? --MCrawford 17:45, 18 June 2006 (EDT)

I slightly changed the statement. It is now more explictly labeled. I have never seen this expressed other than AM-HM-GM, so I can't really change that...--IntrepidMath 17:54, 18 June 2006 (EDT)

I just corrected the inequality (HM is the least one of the three, not the middle one!) and added the positivity assumption. --fedja

Why not just make an article called RMS-AM-GM-HM? --Chess64 18:22, 18 June 2006 (EDT)

I think we should have an individual article for each mean, and then have big ones for major inequalities, RMS-AM-GM-HM, AM-GM, etc. --IntrepidMath 18:24, 18 June 2006 (EDT)
