What are perfect numbers?
A perfect number equals the sum of all its divisors except the given number. For example, all the divisors of six except 6 are 1, 2 and 3. If we add these three integers, we get six. The next perfect number is 28.
What is a binary pattern?
In general, a binary pattern is any sequence of binary digits (zeros and ones) that form a pattern. For example, 1010101010 is a binary pattern.
What is the twin prime conjecture?
The twin prime conjecture states that there is an infinitude of primes (p, p + 2) where p is a prime such as (5, 7), and so on. This is just one of the many unsolved problems in number theory.
What is fractal geometry?
The term "fractal" was coined by Benoit Mandelbrot (1924 – 2010) and roughly means fragmented and irregular. The most striking feature of this new type of geometry is the property of self-similarity where an object at ever scale is identical to the whole. Consider the familiar vegetable, cauliflower. If you detach any part of it, you will notice that the overall shape of the given fragment is similar to that of the whole vegetable
