By the way, if you are interested in understanding the link between Hz and Cents (that is, mathematical formulae), then Aunt Wikipedia is helping you:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cent_(music)

But in a nutshell: Hz (frequency) is absolute, cents is relative. More precisely: the "difference" between a tone and the tone an octave higher is always 1200 cents (constant), but the frequency doubles (2x), and in particular its value (in Hz) depends on the note itself. Therefore the logarithm (base 2) enters the game...
