I came across an interesting Math problem and thought of sharing it here. It's called "3x + 1" or The Collatz Conjecture. The Collatz Conjecture is the simplest math problem no one can solve — it is easy enough for almost anyone to understand but notoriously difficult to solve. Here is an interesting video on...

Happy B’day John Venn!
Mathematician John Venn was born 187 years ago on 4th August! 🎂 A Venn diagram is an illustration that uses circles to show the relationships among things or finite groups of things. Circles that overlap have a commonality while circles that do not overlap do not share those traits. Venn diagrams help to visually represent... Continue Reading →
Nilkantha Bhanu Prakash On Riemann Hypothesis
I love mathematics - the recreational mathematics in particular. I regularly watch Matt Parker and Numberphile video channels on Youtube and am always in search of new interesting videos. Interestingly, I found an interesting Math interview at very unusual place - on a podcast of a stand-up comedian. If you like Mathematics, as I do,... Continue Reading →
Happy Perfect Number Day!
Today is Perfect Number Day! A Perfect Number is a number whose factors add up to the same number. For example, 6 is a Perfect Number because the factors of 6 (= 1+2+3) add up to 6. The next Perfect number is 28 (= 1+2+4+7+14). Yes, you guessed it right! That's why 6/28 i.e. 28th... Continue Reading →
Math Is Fun: A Prime Number with 6400 Digits
In 1991, Harvey Dubner discovered a prime with a total of 6,400 digits: all 9s except one 8. Here's the precise value This is how the number looks. 8 is at 48th place
Math Fun: Today Is Special
Today is a special day of our life…🎊 Today is the 21st day and 21st week of 21st year of the 21st century!
February 2021: Perfect Rectangle Month
This year February is an exact rectangle because it starts on a Monday and it’s not a leap year. But it’s not as rare as I see people claiming (every 200 years apparently‽), it’s about every 10 years. The previous was 2010 and the next is 2027. Courtesy: Matt Parker, Mathematician
Magic of 21!
Maths is fun! Today is the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century! To celebrate here is a 21 by 21 magic square which has a magic total of 21.
Math Is Fun
Amazing circle of numbers 1 to 32 without repetition such that the sum of any two adjacent numbers on this circle is a perfect square.
Happy New Year 2021
2021 is the smallest number that can be expressed as the product of two consecutive primes that produces a palindrome when multiplied by its reverse and that is a position in π, e and φ with the same digit. 2021 is the smallest number made from the concatenation of rising consecutive integers that can be...
