  1. Legendre\u2019s constant is a mathematical constant occurring in a formula conjectured by Adrien-Marie Legendre to capture the asymptotic behavior of the prime-counting function. Its value is now known to be exactly 1.<\/li>\n
  2. A joke in the math world: An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a beer. The second orders half a beer. The third, a quarter of a beer. The bartender says, \u201cYou\u2019re all idiots,\u201d and pours two beers.<\/li>\n
  3. A unicode character XML \u201cnumeric character reference.\u201d<\/li>\n
  4. Modular arithmetic, also known as clock arithmetic, is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers \u201cwrap around\u201d after they reach a certain value. The modular multiplicative inverse of 2 (mod 7) is the integer \/a\/ such that 2*\/a\/ is congruent to 1 modulo 7.<\/li>\n
  5. The Golden Mean\u2026reworked a little.<\/li>\n
  6. Three factorial (3*2*1=6)<\/li>\n
  7. A repeating decimal that is proven to be exactly equal to 7 with Cauchy\u2019s Convergence Test.<\/li>\n
  8. Graphical representation of binary code.<\/li>\n
  9. An example of a base-4 number, which uses the digits 0, 1, 2 and 3 to represent any real number.<\/li>\n
  10. A Binomial Coefficient, also known as the choose function. 5 choose 2 is equal to 5! divided by (2!*(5-2)!)<\/li>\n
  11. A hexadecimal, or base-16, number.<\/li>\n
  12. A radical<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
