What's your favorite number, /sci/?

π
>inb4 unoriginal
i like it bc i like circles and its just taught so much in school. i also like e but i have less of an intuition for it. also i like sqrt(-1) if that counts.

Not a number.

343

I like 7, I like cube numbers, and I like that 3 and 4 sum to 7. Not sure if there's anything interesting about it

>>8641622
343 = 7^3, nice Friedman number since 343 = (3 + 4)^3. It's the only known example of x^2+x+1 = y^3, in this case, x=18, y=7. It is z^3 in a triplet (x,y,z) such that x^5 + y^2 = z^3.

343 was the number of New York City Fire Department members that died in the events of September 11, 2001.

I have always liked 5. And then I realized I had 25 letters in my name and their alphanumeric values add up to 256, so I decided 16 was a decent number too.

But I have always loved 5 since atleast 3rd grade.

Because it's literally perfect
No multiple, indivisiable, always equals it's self and never equals itself it's undefined and perfect just like me

8
I don't know why
I just like the number 8

i^i=.=0.20788 (minimum positive value)
It's transcendental and fuck you.

I know you copied this from wikipedia, but what does this even mean?

>>8642768
You mean [math]\sqrt{x}_2 : x \neq k^2 \forall k \in \mathbb{Z}[/math], right?

>>8642755
Maybe I understand you wrongly, but the minimum of f(x)=x^x=e^(x·log(x)) is 1/e (solve f'(x)=0 to find it) and it's value
y := f(1/e) = e^(-1/e)
differs from 4e/(5*pi) by a factor of about 10^(-6).

>No known pattern
>Infinite decimal places

I don't think you understand the concepts of infinity and complexity.

Let's take an example
>Hamlet is 100 pages long
>There's about 27 letters in alphabet
>There's about 20 rows per page
>There's about 100 letters per row
>That means 100*20*100 places for letter = 200'000 spaces for letter
>Chances that Hamlet spawns randomly is 1/(27^200'000)
= 1,766*10^-286273
So 0% chance to appear in the infinite string of numbers.

Neither do you understand the concept of interpretation/translating.

X = "entire text of Hamlet by Shakespeare"

Look how amazing. A single letter containing the whole text of Hamlet :D How is that even possible???

And I'm not sure about the string being infinite or random either. But I'll leave useful thoughts like those to mathematicians.

>No known pattern

Expect that there is a pattern. Every decimal place can only be one (1) number; that we have proved. So there is a pattern. We just haven't calculated it yet. Just like saying that "How many hairs does my neighbor girl Stacy have?". Nobody knows, but surely it could be calculated if someone were autistic enough.

Sure, but you can get the same effect by constructing a number by enumerating all decimal strings in shortlex order and using that as the tail.

>>8642777
>only known example of x^2+x+1 = y^3, in this case, x=18, y=7
the only known solution of x^2+x+1 = y^3 where x and y are integers has both sides equal to 343: 18^2 + 18 + 1 = 7^3 = 343

>It is z^3 in a triplet (x,y,z) such that x^5 + y^2 = z^3.
one of the solutions of x^5 + y^2 = z^3 with x,y,z integers has both sides equal 343

This must be a sign.
