Feynman (1997, p. 116) noticed the curious fact that the decimal expansion 1/(243)=0.004115226337448559... (1) repeats pairs of the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, ... separated by the ...

Let x_0 be a rational number in the closed interval [0,1], and generate a sequence using the map x_(n+1)=2x_n (mod 1). (1) Then the number of periodic map orbits of period p ...

3 is the only integer which is the sum of the preceding positive integers (1+2=3) and the only number which is the sum of the factorials of the preceding positive integers ...

A 30-60-90 triangle is a right triangle having angles of 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and 90 degrees. For a 30-60-90 triangle with hypotenuse of length a, the legs have lengths b ...

The triangle with edge lengths 3, 4, and 5 is the right triangle with smallest possible integer lengths and corresponds to the Pythagorean triple (3,4,5) where the legs have ...
