For anyone who's interested in how numbers work! Here's a 2022 talk on the 3n+1 or Collatz conjecture. #collatz.

In a 2011 blog post, mathematician Terence Tao showed that the conjecture is "Baker-hard", meaning that it's more difficult to ...

Here's the last video in our diversion into primes and twin primes! This one covers Viggo Brun's 1919 proof about the number of ...

If we start at 529, do we loop back to ... 529? That would be an exception to the 3n+1 conjecture, except ... #math #numbers ...

How many 3n+1 start numbers diverge to infinity? Probably none? But if one did, what would its trajectory look like? Could it loiter ...

Let's explore what numbers can be represented as 2^k - 3^x ... by crossing off numbers that can't! #math #numbers #collatz.

Why is the difference of powers so much more interesting than the sum of powers? How many numbers get to be a difference of ...

So far, we looked mostly at 3n+1 loops -- where they might exist, why they probably (?) don't exist, how long they'd have to be, etc.

The 3n+1 trajectory of a random 20-digit number looks pretty random itself, though there are some patterns. We see 9s stacked in ...

Let's do a quick catch up on some of the 3n+1 attack vectors from previous episodes........ #math #numbers #collatz.

One general pattern explains everything we've seen on circuits, high loops, and regular loops #collatz.

Update (2024-03-24): Looked harder, found another Kershaw prime, 1210483] The bottom member of a 3n+1 circuit loop has the ...
