just wondering...how many interesting math constant/number-sequence days can we find?

 

"e day" on 2/7.  Two years form now it'll be really great (2/7/18)

I'm disappointed we missed "cardinality of boolean equivalence classes day", on 1/4/14.

"ABC-conjecture day" on 3/13/16, and again on 5/11/16 and 7/9/16? (co-prime numbers where a+b=c)

I can't find a way to make Fibonacci sequence day work out. :(

 

It doesn't look like the 'database formerly known as the sloane numerical sequences database' has the ability to search for sequences ending in 16.  :(

 

special math days seem like a fun way to introduce some interesting/non-trivial math.  Anyone have other suggestions - especially for math that's off the beaten path?

Sometimes a simple St. Patrick's Day is just easier. :laugh:  I have no idea what most of these mean.

DD suggested mole day (Avogadro's number) 6/02/21 and phi day 1/6/18

 

Mole Day is always on 10/23 (for the power of ten), in my experience. Probably because June 2 is not in the school year in these parts.
