    • @8bit_pineapple
      @8bit_pineapple Před 7 lety +51

      +Fishurmomball You see, "losing touch with your roots" is usually a turn of phrase in the English language to mean losing touch with your origins or original concept or whatever. However, in mathematics "roots" could be interpreted to mean "roots" as in square roots or the roots of an equation or something to that effect. So a mathematician could use something known as "Wordplay" - noun, definition: The witty exploitation of the meaning and ambiguities of words, to use the phrase "losing touch with your roots" for comedic effect. For example, suppose a mathematician is asked "What is the square root of 9.", he may respond "4! ... wait no 3. Sorry I am losing touch with my roots". This is humerous because it is an example of "Wordplay", the "ambiguities of words" in this case is the ambiguity of the word "roots", as ordinarily it is used to mean "origins" whereas the mathematician is using it for a more obscure meaning.

    This rule of adding up the first three palindromic primes to get another palindromic prime can be extended to any counting system:
    The first 3 palindromic three digit primes in hexadecimal are 101, 151, and 161 (257, 337, 353 in decimal).
    Add these up, and you get 3B3, another palindrome. 3B3 in decimal is a prime number, 947.

  • @cally9336
    @cally9336 Před 7 lety +22

    I was wondering if you could help me understand a pattern I found when I was bored one day in math class. On a calculator, the 1 through 9 buttons are arranged in a 3×3 square. When you take the 4 numbers made on the sides of this square, or any of the possible 2×2 squares made on this grid, and make the equation a-b+c-d it always equals 0. For example, going around the perimeter of the largest square clockwise starting at 7 makes the equation 789-963+321-147=0. But this works with every square made by the 1 through 9 grid, clockwise or counterclockwise. Why is this? Why does this pattern exist? This has been bothering me for eight years. Please explain it! It's driving me insane.

    • @bobbysanchez6308
      @bobbysanchez6308 Před 7 lety +4

      +Cally For the example that you provided, it's actually a very simple explanation: going around the outskirts of the grid you find that there are 8 numbers. Because it is even, half of the values will be + and the other half -. This cancels out the fives in the middle of each three digit term. Since you are going around the grid, each number opposite of it when added together will equal ten. Since it's even once again the values cancel out. What I find interesting in particular is that (ignoring 5 for this) the corner values make up 1,3,9,7 (1,3,9,27) and the rest make up 2,4,8,6 (2,4,8,16).

    • @zanti4132
      @zanti4132 Před 4 lety

      That's a variation on another story: A man condemned to death was told he must be executed on a predetermined day the following week, and he must not know what day it is. So the man argued, "Well, then I can't be executed on Saturday, since if you wait until Saturday I would know my execution would be that day. Since you can't execute me on Saturday, if you wait until Friday I would know my execution would have to be that day, therefore you also can't execute me on Friday. The same goes for Thursday, then Wednesday, yadda yadda, hence there is no way I can be executed without my knowing the day of my execution." So the man went back to his jail cell, confident he had talked his way out of a death sentence, and he was caught completely by surprise when the executioner showed up on Tuesday the following week to carry out the sentence.
      My point is, clearly there are uninteresting numbers, even if we limit ourselves to the positive integers. The set of uninteresting positive integers is a countable infinity. To say the smallest uninteresting positive integer is therefore interesting is actually an arbitrary decision, and it dies just like that fast-talking man in the story.

    Crucially, 383 is the 25th 3-digit decimal number with 2 repeated digits that converted to octal (577) gives a number that also has two repeated digits. It is the 8th prime number to have that property. Remarkably, 25 is a a square, and 8 is a cube.

    The sum of the first three palindromic primes.
    That's so like baseball statistics: So and so is the first switch hitting first baseman who was a former catcher to hit 30 homers and steal 30 bases in two consecutive seasons.
    Yes baseball keeps track of such ridiculous minute things and I'll just bet someone knows who so and so is.

    OK. Out of all your videos, this is the one that got me to download BOINC and join the PrimeGrid project. I did not know of Woodall Primes. But I like underdogs. So, I am running BOINC in hopes of finding a Woodall Prime someday.

    Numbers are boring. You can argue that certain numbers are interesting when you do certain things with them, but that underplays genuinely interesting topics in mathematics because you can make nearly any number "interesting" in this way. What's truly interesting are the mathematical concepts that make certain numbers "interesting", and you should draw attention to them in both the video and the title. Chemists don't say NaCl is cool because it's made from Na and Cl, so why would a mathematician claim a specific prime is cool because it's made from the sum of two other primes? It's so trivial, it's boring.

    • @mikeletoris2487
      @mikeletoris2487 Před 7 lety +3

      It's the way they interact and influence eachother that makes it interesting. Neat little coincidence makes it interesting.

      I think what makes that interesting is the underlying concept/theory/pattern of numbers rather than the numbers themselves. Certain constants can also be somewhat interesting; not so much the number itself, but the fact that it is a unique number that is important to a certain theory.
      If I'm deriving a physical formula to calculate a result, what's interesting is the connection between constants and formulas and physical phenomena. I'm not interested in the fact that my answer is 10 Joules, because the units are arbitrary, and number system is arbitrary, and this is only an answer to a very specific question rather than a general result.
      If I'm standing in a field and I learn that there are a number of four leaf clovers in the field with me, I'm interested by the fact that four leaf clovers exist, and not in identifying each and every one of them.
      If a particular number is interesting because it's a prime, it's not the number that's interesting, it's the fact that primes exist.

    • @4myzelf
      @4myzelf Před 7 lety +5

      Different people find different things interesting for different reasons. I find golf and MMA interesting but not for the same reasons and someone might also find them interesting as well for different reasons and someone else might find one boring and the other interesting for the exact reasons as me and someone else might find both boring for the very reasons I find them interesting. I get that you might not find it numbers interesting but that doesn't really mean everyone doesn't. So although the reasons you gave are valid reasons for you to not enjoy these types of videos, its definitely not for everyone.

      I can appreciate that. Still, I feel that there are probably many people like myself who hated maths growing up because we were bombarded with numeracy and numerical puzzles before we got to the interesting parts.
      To say that mathematics has such a poor reputation, I think that channels like Numberphile who seek to popularise maths should probably try to engage people who aren't particularly enthused by numbers. Something as simple as explaining why I should care about 383 in the title could be enough.

    UPDATE: As of October 2018, the largest known Woodall prime is 17016602 × 217016602 − 1. It has 5,122,515 digits and was found by Diego Bertolotti in March 2018 in the distributed computing project PrimeGrid. ~Wikipedia

    383,the cubic inch displacement of an engine manufactured for Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth cars starting in the early 60's. Most of the cars it went into were prime.😊

    • @andrewbraun4679
      @andrewbraun4679 Před rokem

      As a GM man I whole heartedly disagree with you. Regardless of the Dodge engine, the truly great engine with that displacement was the GM 350 block with the 400 crank! Always loved that engine from when I was a kid.
      I never knew that dodge had a factory engine with that displacement. I have never paid much attention to dodge and associated product brands at car shows and such. I think I will start looking for that engine!

    *383* was a great engine from Chrysler in the late 1960s during the muscle car era. (383 cubic inch V8)

  • @justgonnastay
    @justgonnastay Před 7 lety

    383 with dual quads! Now THAT'S cool!
    Chrysler used to manufacture a 383 cubic inch performance engine. Topped with a tunnel ram intake manifold and two four-barrel carburetors (dual quads), it was quite a strong engine.
    Sorry, I grew up just outside Detroit, and cars run in my blood.
