40 more Mathematical Wonders to Usher in a Joyful 2025

At the age of eleven, I began Euclid, with my brother as my tutor. This was one of the great events of my life, as dazzling as first love. I had not imagined there was anything so delicious in the world. From that moment until I was thirty-eight, mathematics was my chief interest and my chief source of happiness.

2025 = 10 + 20 + ∙∙∙ + 20250

🔵 37.     Consider the following setup: two pairs of equal tangent circles are arranged in such a way that they are tangent to both an external semicircle and an oblique chord. In this configuration, the smallest integer radius of the semicircle that allows the radii of the inscribed circles to be integer values (specifically, 400 and 648) is 2025. [Sangaku Problem]

🔵 38.      Consider writing the number 1 once, the number 2 twice, the number 3 three times, and so on up to the number 45, repeated forty-five times, forming a sequence like this: 12233344445555…454545.

  1. For me this 2025 number was curiously
    The sum of cubes from 1 to 9..
    Thought I might make a Tshirt about the math
    Now after viewing this site..I’ll need an infinite shirt
