Why?What’s special about June 28th?
Double Pi Day
Every Day Is MathematicalLet’s think about factors. What are all the factors of
6?1 2 3 61 + 2 + 3 = 6
When this happens, what is it called?A perfect number - one in which the sum of
the proper factors add up to the number itself.
What’s the second perfect number?28

How to name the days
Every Day Is Mathematical
What could we call days where all 3 elements are the same?
I call them “repeaters”
Babies conceived this past week have a good chance of being born on 11/11/11
Every Day Is Mathematical
In determining the “mathematicalness” of a day, you can consider* the day only
(February 25th is a perfectly square day)* The month and day
(February 22nd is a multiple day)* The month, day, and year
(February 19th is a triply prime day)

connectionsyou can find for the days in the nextmonth.

What are deficient numbers?Numbers with the property that the sum oftheir proper factors is less than the numberitself.
Example: 141 + 2 + 7 < 14
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 1, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 29, 31

What are the opposite of deficient numbers?Abundant numbers
Numbers with the property that the sum of the proper factors is greater than the number itself.
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 > 12
