Reocht Afnín Scúdhainn (English: /roʊkt æf'ni:n ˈskuːðɨn/ or /... 'sku:dɨn/; born: fT 2236, died: fT 2303 (aged 67) - Modern Tíogall has been established as a major language by the time Scúdhainn was born) was a Tíogall-speaking mathematician, composer and music theorist. Among Clotricians, she is often regarded as the greatest woman composer and mathematician who ever lived.

Early life and education
Scúdhainn was born in the city of Flian to a well-off background; her father, Fúnchíd Scúdhainn, was a mathematics professor in the University of Flian; her mother, Osraí Brinne, was a classical ŋamas player and teacher; her father's brother, Lothair Scúdhainn, was a lawyer.
A precocious tomboy, early on she was taught mathematics and ŋamas by her parents. She went to boarding school but she found the coursework boring and stilting. She was by and large self-taught, seeking out math and music books to read in libraries and music to listen to and analyze. She entered the University of Óc Eo at age 15, and specialized in mathematics.

Compositions
Scúdhainn’s compositions, many of them commissioned, number about 250 works in total. Many of them were described as “conceptual” or “constrained composition” by her contemporaries. Dense counterpoint is also not uncommon. However, she also took a liking to folk-like themes.
(Many of her “high-level” tempo markings and staff directions are in her native Tíogall – while “low-level” ones such as dynamics markings remain in Netagin.)

Early life and education
Scúdhainn was born in the city of Óc Eo to a semi-aristocratic background. Her father, Fúnchíd Scúdhainn, was a mathematics professor in the University of Óc Eo who composed in his spare time. Her mother, Osraí Brinne, was a socialite, classical ŋamas player and teacher. Her father's brother, Lothair Scúdhainn, was an army officer.
Scúdhainn started auditing composition and math classes at age 5 and her talent in these areas rapidly developed. She skipped boarding school; she was allowed to formally enter the University of Óc Eo at age 13 by taking an entrance exam, and specialized in mathematics at age 17.

Compositions
Her earliest works were imitations of previous composers such as [...]. After her university years she developed a style characterized by adventurous harmonic complexity sometimes with dense packing of melodic lines, often placing great technical demands on the performer.
