math

I’m picturing the math as a very large set of bell curves where most people fall somewhere in the middle, but each person is likely to be an outlier on at least one.

This is OC by myself, but from long time ago (2012). I've kept it up to date, and I still do, so if you spot any error, please comment; I will update it (here and on the blog).

It's an approximation but still... It's an interesting quick read.

I just saw somebody on mastodon share this fact, and I wanted to share it here too :))

It can be explained by the follow:

2025 = 2024 + 1

2025 = 45²

45 = 1 + 2 + ... + 9

(1 + ... + n)² = 1³ + ... + n³

and since 1³ is just one, we get the above equation for 2024 :))

This also means that next year will be even nicer, as it will include the 1³ :))

Do you have any other interesting facts about 2024 ? :))

The best name I've found for the last formula is just "Sum of consecutive cubes". I had never heard about that relation before, it really is bizare how math is connected sometimes :))

Out of 5 six-sided dice, what is the probability of landing 1 of one number and 4 of one other number?

And for how long can this pattern continue?

For example, 22 has factors of 2 and 11, both prime numbers, yet 22 itself is not prime.

Institution: Berkeley
Lecturer: Richard E Borcherds
University Course Code: Math 250A
Subject: #math #grouptheory
Description: This is an experimental online course on mathematical group theory, corresponding to about the first third of the Berkeley course 250A (introductory graduate algebra). The level is for first year graduate students or advanced undergraduates. The topics covered are roughly the parts of group theory that a mathematician not specializing in groups might find useful.

A neat short explanation related to building spheres with cubes, like in Minecraft

An interesting stickman-styled animation that uses some mathematics that get more and more complex.

I would assume that it's higher that you would imagine.

Kinda like (2/2)+(3/3) but way more complicated

The West Virginia University Provost's Office is recommending closing the MS and Ph.D. programs in Math. It is the only Ph.D. program in Math in the entire state, and about 10% of all WVU Ph.D.'s are in Math.

Please consider signing this petition to save the program.
