AEC Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 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? 1 Quote

Dmmetler Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) DD suggested mole day (Avogadro's number) 6/02/21 and phi day 1/6/18 Edited March 2, 2016 by dmmetler 1 Quote
purpleowl Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 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. Quote
