- This website is a source of enormous entertainment for the math
enthusiast. Articles like the ones featured on this website (including
the ones featured on this website, in fact) remind me of why I choose to
study mathematics: the subtle beauty of patterns, the depth of the
field, and, of course, the unique pleasure one gets when they solve a
fascinating problem.

- If anyone needs a 'soundbite' regarding the scholarship that
underlies Numericana they need look no further than the Dec. 2009 issue
of the Notices of the American Mathematical Society
(www.ams.org/notices), where the curious but important story is told of
Legendre's lost portrait.

- The rigors of mathemtics and its many puzzles help me keep my 80
year old mind active and my curiousity alive. I recently wrote to Gérard
about an article he wrote where I thought (foolishly) that I had
detected a flaw in one of his explanations. He very kindly corrected me
and encouraaged me. I have gone way beyond my intellectual depth in my
ameteur math studies, but I keep going back for further punishments. I
am currently trying to understand the "pigeon hole" theory among others.
I think I have it. On the whole, however, it is pure number theory which
attracts me. Gérard's contributions are invaluable to me.

question given by Dr. Michon.This has saved me hours of searching books

genetares problems and a general way of their solution in the same
range, that enabled me to deeper understanding of the material. Thank

- Very nice site.
I found a problem posted here in 2002 (at
www.numericana.com/answer/algebra.htm#quartic) which calls for the
solution of an algebraic equation of degree 4...
In the 1980's,
I had seen that same problem in the French monthly magazine "Science
& Vie". It staged a smart painter trying to figure out, with pencil
and paper, the exact width of a corridor where two opposing ladders of
known lengths cross at a height of one meter...
The question
was: Even if the scene takes place on the top floor of a high-rise
building under construction (no lift) wouldn't it be wiser for the
painter to fetch the tape measure he left in his van
downstairs? |

whenever I have a headache or blues or something, I do some math and it

Some people have reported problems using www.numericana.com (and
subdirectories) instead of the current "direct" address
http://home.att.net/~numericana (and subdirectories) especially from
behind the firewalls of some educational institutions... However, I
still recommend bookmarking and/or linking to www.numericana.com which
is intended to be the "permanent" address of this site. Please, let me
know (by e-mail) if the problems persist (and, if so, under what
conditions they occur).
Thanks for the kind words,

- You are indeed a wizard! I'm amazed that you have such data at your
fingertips. Your calculation of the weight has explained why I need to
be very careful lifting and carrying these 5-gallon buckets of used oil
around the boat and on the dock.
Part of the problem with this
used oil is that we tend to carry them awkwardly to avoid ruining
clothing with drips and spatters, so backs and shoulders are at risk.
I'll be checking back for other helpful numerical
facts! |

Math more attractive like that.
We just found the answer to one of
my kids' recent question: what is the definition of a meter. And were
proud to see that the kg is in Paris. |

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the article
about the perimeter of an ellipse. Your mastery of English matches
your mastery of math and the wealth of detail you include makes it a
real pleasure.

- Dear Dr. Michon,
I would like to thank you for this totally
excellent website!
What can I say? Well, I have never been
compelled to m@il anybody at ANY website EVER, and I may sound like an
idiot, but Numericana is AMAZING.
I have found this site to be
the most humorous, informative, wondrous, (and I would be lying if I
didn't say mind-boggling), that I have come across.
I just kinda
surfed in by accident, but that was two and a half hours ago! I shall
definitely be a regular visitor!
I do not expect a reply, but I
am so impressed, that I had to thank you for the time and effort you
have put into the contents of your site, and to tell you it is much
appreciated.
Congratulations on producing such an interesting
website, and thanks for increasing my limited knowledge!

- Dear Dr. Michon,
I am a recent convert to mathematics. After
having spent most of my life absolutely miserable at math, I was
converted by the books on recreational math, and magic, of Martin
Gardner and Harry Lorayne.
Since then, I have become a math
(really basic arithmetic) evangelist, and have developed websites and
booklets for that end.
Big deal. Today I ran across your
website, and was BLOWN AWAY! It is amazing. I'm sure I will spend many
hours playing there. It is another impetus for me to go back to school
and get a math degree. I am 46.
Thanks for the inspiration! Keep
up the great work!
Yours truly,
Brian

two curves on the Ask Jeeves site. I was very impressed with your
concise treatise and solution on the problem. I can only wish that some
day my mathematical prowess can even remotely compare to yours.
Thanks.

- Wonderful website.
I stumbled across your website -- and as
a college educator, I love it and will use it (with credit given) from
time to time in studying and teaching ancient units of measure.
Just one more question for your list:
Q: "You load 16
tons, what do you get?"
A: "Another day older, and deeper in
debt."
Now I suppose the unit "day" needs further examination.
Thank you for the valuable resource. |

- Wow! I just realized that, in about 3 hours, this Guest Book will be
exactly one year old and nobody but myself has ever signed it... The
"Final Answers" section premiered in October 2000 and has been growing
in popularity (it now contains about 120 articles, which some people
have found helpful). However, this has not prompted anybody to post a
comment about it here. I won't beg for it, but the first person to drop
a line in this Book will certainly make my day :) Happy Birthday, dear
Guest Book...

The Numericana.com domain was secured on March 19, 2000 and went immediately
online by being forwarded to an AT&T address
(home.att.net/~numericana).
In hindsight, this was a poor setup since many people ended up posting
the target address, against all recommendations.
10 years down the line, this would cause about 1200 broken links
(a fraction of those are now corrected).
The guest book itself was opened in the first week of
Numericana's existence (see earliest entry below).
