Whenever you look at a clock, do you always see the same time? It might be 11:11 or 3:33. Maybe repeating numbers have made their way into other aspects of your life, such as a receipt that totaled ...

Take a look at Champernowne’s Constant. It’s a ridiculously easy sequence to make, and yet it fooled programs designed to root out underlying order in seemingly random numbers. David Gawen ...

A pattern or a sequence is a set of numbers that are connected in some way. All sequences have a rule. For example, sometimes the numbers might count on by 5 each time, other times they might be ...

You will need to be confident with arithmetic sequences and the 𝑛th term rule to understand these other types of sequences. A geometric sequence contains numbers that are multiplied by a certain ...

Some strange mathematical sequences are always whole numbers — until they’re not. The puzzling patterns have revealed ties to graph theory and prime numbers, awing mathematicians. Simple, yes, but ...

One of the curious properties of mathematics is its beauty. But exactly what mathematicians mean by beauty is hard to capture. Perhaps the most famous example is Euler’s relation, e iπ + 1 = 0, which ...

Bioengineers have developed a new method for rapidly producing an almost unlimited variety of human-made DNA sequences. Duke University bioengineers have developed a new method for rapidly producing ...
