This captivating book on number theory explores the hidden beauty of numbers and the fascinating world of mathematics. The author's compulsion to analyze and contemplate the splendor (and squalor) of numbers leads him to seek out strange mathematical properties lurking within the platonic realm. The book covers a wide range of topics related to number theory, including compound interest, near misses of Fermat's last theorem, conjectures on twin primes, the mysterious qualities of zebra irrational numbers, and more. Readers will also enjoy a few fictional stories that feature numbers, which serve to further illuminate the beauty and wonder of mathematics (it's worth noting that the stories are entirely fictional, and any characters that might resemble real-life individuals (living or deceased) are entirely coincidental). The author's main goal is to inspire readers to engage in their own investigations of mathematical problems and discover the thrill of probing the integers to appreciate their mysterious and astounding qualities. Whether you're a seasoned mathematician or simply someone who enjoys contemplating the beauty of numbers, this book is sure to stimulate your mind and encourage you to think deeply about the fascinating world of mathematics. So come along for the ride as the author delves deep into the splendor (and squalor) of numbers, uncovering their hidden mysteries and inspiring readers to seek out the same.
