NEW YEAR NEW BEGINNING
2016 is almost over and the world is waiting to welcome
2017. 2016 was a great year for many,
for some it was a year which taught many lessons and for the rest it was a year
to forget. As far as this blog is concerned, 2016 was a memorable one as it
marked the establishment of this blog. Whatever 2016 gave for the people, 2017
is definitely a new beginning and the world is quite optimistic about that.
We, mathematics geeks first look at the new year differently,
we look at the number 2017 first and
then think about any uniqueness in the
number. It turns out, 2017 is special in its own way. Let’s look how:-
If you observe 2017 is a number of the 2P-1 where P is a
prime number and 2P-1 is also a prime
2017 = 2P-1, a prime
number
where
P=1009 which is also a prime number and this 1009 is also a special number
called “Emirps”.
Emirps are primes that become a different prime when their
decimal digits are reversed.
On the thirteenth of July in 2017, i.e., (7/13/17), we will
get a Mersenne prime number sequence in the date. (Note, Mersenne Primes are
primes of the form ${{{2}^{P}}-1}$ where P is also a prime number)
I wish all my readers a happy and prosperous new year!!
Do post in the comment section if any of the readers get
some mathematical facts about the year 2017 and the number 2017.
