50 Constants Explained

[@benyseus6325]

The ratio between a League of Legends player’s ego to their elo is called the “Feeder’s Constant” and is approximated to infinity. It is represented by this equation and symbol: Ego/Elo = ∞. Curiously, the difference between both variables Ego and Elo, commonly referred to as the “Inter’s Gap” is also equal to infinity: Ego - Elo = ∞. This paradoxically converging phenomenon is known as the “Bronze-Iron Effect”.

Theorem: Let G=(X,Y) be an ranked game, where X (also knows as allied team) and Y (also knows as enemy team) are sets with cardinality 5. (i) If X contains a Yasuo player then its death count sequence approachs to Infinity. (ii) If Y contains a Yasuo player then its kill count sequence approachs to infinity. Proof: We will prove only (i), (ii) is left as an exercise. We know that G is a ranked game and X contains a Yasuo main so by Incarryable theorem (Leonard Faker, 1953) we have that the kill count sequence follows the formula K = 2^t, its trivial proof that diverges to Infinity.

You can also get the value this way : If their IQ is nearing 0 then their ego is usually represented as such : Ego = Limit(x=> 0+) 1/x ~ infinity 0+ being any value that approach 0 from right side

Mathematics is a hobby. I believe much of these constants emerged because mathematicians experimented with numbers to see what kind of equations they are going to get

[@stevejohn7459]

2 things from me to you: Correct! And this is called: “Number theory” which explores the property of numbers, variables, constants, and irrational numbers that have unique properties. Another thing is that most of these are from either accidents or coincidence and then eventually their work gets recognized and published to the public + recognition.

One of the constants that I really like and I think you missed is, historically, a number that is described quite a bit after pi is described The humanity's first attempt to extend their number system It's the constant zero! // Also regarding Dottie's number, it is probably also one of the constant that us nerd's accidentally stumble on while we were a child: noticing that pressing cos repeatedly on a calculator makes the number converge.

[@bobbyheffley4955]

Love the video, great animations. But I have a question.... Is anything past like 22 actually useful in maths? Sounds like I could come up with a random sequence, then calculate a constant.. now it's useless... I have quite some research ahead of me.

[@graf_paper]

This question actually deserves a thoughtful reply. This sentiment is something that students who are farther along in their studies, specifically in pure math, need to make peace with as it's not a given what 'useful' math is. In short, these feel like a vague jumble of facts, especially when presented in this rapid fire format - it's hard to see the beautiful applications of them, sort of like reading the dictionary, you don't get all the beautiful synthesis of language from that!

[@hadrienlondon4990]

It depends on what you mean by "useful", but some of these are meaningful. Apéry's Constant, 26, is zeta(3). The zeta function is a very famous function used in number theory, and studying it helps us understand the distribution of prime numbers. Historically, a problem known as the Basel problem was basically "compute zeta(2)". Euler solved it, and even computed zeta(2k) for any positive integer k. It turns out all zeta(2k) are transcendental (actually of the form a rational number times a power of pi). However, Euler couldn't figure out how to compute the zeta(2k+1). We still do not know how to do it, and few things are known about these numbers. That's why Apéry's Constant is named after him: Roger Apéry proved zeta(3) was irrational in 1978. The Wallis product, 27, gives an expression of pi as a product of rational numbers. It can be found using Wallis Integrals and some induction - something a first-year math student can understand. Brun's constant, 29, is named after Viggo Brun for a reason. The sum of the reciprocals of prime numbers is infinite, which means there is "at least a few" prime numbers. Viggo Brun developed a method of proof that enabled him to show that the sum of the reciprocals of twin primes is finite, which means that there are "not many" twin primes and is a significant result in number theory. That's why the constant is named after him, but the video doesn't tell you that. Also, Legendre's constant, 20, is an example of how "some constant" turned out to be 1. The theorem that gives this result is known as the prime number theorem and is the first major result in understanding the distribution of prime numbers. The Copeland-Erdos constant, 41, is interesting because Erdos and Copeland proved it contains all possible finite strings of digits (and does so in a "uniformly distributed" way, it is called a normal number), much like the Champernowne constant, except it is not obvious that concatenating all prime numbers does that. I hope I have convinced you that constants are not random numbers mathematicians make up to get their name on something.

[@MiScusi69]

Pure math does not need to be useful. It's math for the sake of math. Like it or not, that's how math has evolved since ancient Greece; then, occasionally, some other people realise that some of these concepts are actually useful, and something great is made. For example, the Internet technology you are using is all based on calculus, a field which was basically created by mathematicians and physicists in the 17th century for the sake of, well, math and physics, without looking for applications.

I have an original equation that’s structured “like” the conway’s constant except for it being used for something else but hey, maybe it’s useful or not. It’s from highest degree to lowest degree and is a polynomial but the length of the equation is determined by the range and values of x and y. The exponents are condescending order, and eventually approach to the power of 0 or 1 as the power of 0 in my equation can be inferred as anything to the power of 0 = 1.

Ah the π Pi can accompany side by side the X as long as its diagonal and start at 5, because the Pi and the X or matter of matrix are both continuous numericals, one for continuous number and one for continuous calculation of the Prime counting function and both can settle together for a while at the Legendre's constant of B=1.
