The number of iterations of x → x-√x to get to 0 is approximately 2√x - ln(x)/4 - 1. For sufficiently large x, this approximation differs from known true values by approximately 0.069555. The meaning of this constant is a mystery (to me).

A pretty variant of the Mandelbrot fractal that looks like a bee! The name "Mandelbee" doesn't seem to be taken so that's what I'm calling it. #math #maths #fractal #mandelbrot #mandelbee

Is it always the case that for multiples of 12 (except 12 itself), there exists at least one pair of primes p and q that not only sum to that multiple of 12, but also that their difference is twice a prime?

If not, what's the smallest multiple of 12 (after 12) where this fails to be the case?

The upside to writing a #Perl or #Python program to parse STDIN is that with one change, the code can deal with UTF8 text. The equivalent #C needs to be rewritten to use entirely different underlying functions.

The downside is that sometimes it's 100 times slower than the equivalent C program(s).

So it turns out that this ε is equivalent to the nilpotent matrix [[-1,0],[0,0]] and these pairs (a+bε) are similarly equivalent to the matrix form [[a-b,0],[0,b]]. Nothing special, but still an interesting little toy.

What algebra is it where there's an element ε such that ε² = -ε, but that ε is not 0 or -1?

Does this have a name? Specifically or generally.

It seems to be fairly robust and work similarly to Dual numbers, but there are some critical differences.

For example, the "conjugate" of (a+bε) in this system would appear to be (b-a+bε).

Where there are two, there's a war.

#Bundles schmundles. Turn them into backpack tiers. 3 tiers, 9 extra inventory slots per tier. Add a scaled speed debuff so that if all 27 slots are full, player moves at 50% speed. But if all empty, no debuff. #Minecraft suggestion.
