The Professor's Beloved Equation

So last night I watched a Japanese movie, Hakase-no Aishita Sushiki ("The Professor and His Beloved Equation").

It was GREAT!!

This is the equation the professor loves.

e π i + 1 = 0

(e to the π and to the i (ROOT-1); e のπ乗のi乗)

You probably don't think this equation is romantic.
But you will think so after watching this movie!

220 and 284.

They are called 友愛数(ゆうあいすう)(literally translated as "the number of friend and love" - "amiable numbers"). They have a deep friendship.

ROOT √

is a tough and gentle guy with "a wise heart" who protects anyone, any number.

『博士の愛した数式』を見た後、数学をいつか学び直したいと思いました。

"No one knows when numbers were born."

Numbers are like the nature. They just exist.
