Types of infinity Thanks. Does this also mean that the cardinalities of all classes which include the class of infinities are equal, and greater than the cardinalities of all classes which don't include the class of infinities? |

If x=1, then its powers end with 1 I don't think OP knows about modular arithmetic... |

Why is $e^{\pi \sqrt{163}}$ almost an integer? accepted as answer for explaining how some numbers approach integers, albeit with a completely different example. I understand Rumanujan's Constant is way beyond my understanding of mathematics. |

How do I map a spherical triangle to a plane triangle? Maybe also interesting for gis.stackexchange.com? |

sangaku - a geometrical puzzle This is the approach I followed too, but I had some trouble finding a second equation to get rid of the theta :-( |

Boy Born on a Tuesday - is it just a language trick? @muad: there doesn't seem a mistake in your derivation; the error was in my intuition that the day couldn't possibly have anything to do with it. |

Do complex numbers really exist? "When you first hear this, it sounds crazy." I must say, when I first saw it being drawn in the Argand plane, it made perfectly sense to me: you introduce an imaginary axis because your imaginary number obviously can fit nowhere on the real axis. If you say i = 1 rotated CW over 90°, then i*i = 1 rotated over 2*90°, and you've arrived at -1, back on the real axis! The Argand plane made it all clear to me. Unfortunately I have no such representation for quaternions :-( |

Liouville's number revisited I guess I should have said "Liouville's constant" instead of "Liouville's number". |
