1/1/11

Something is fun for a mathematician when numbers sequence or repeat - so this is a day to celebrate. Since technically it is 01/01/11 it is not quite as interesting as what is coming in November 11/11/11. And even that isn't precise since it is 11/11/2011 - and not nearly as visually appealing.

So what can we do with 1/1/11? Well as any good mathematician would begin to play with the numbers.

One is an interesting number - referred to as the identity number since when multiplied you get the number attempting to change. That can either be fun or frustrating.

One is it's own factorial and square,cube, ..... So maybe we should write 1/1/11 as 1**4 (1 to the fourth power).

Or let's literally do the division 1/1/11.

(1/1)/11 = .0909090909........ Or 1/(1/11)= 1/.09090909... = 11

How about 1-1-11? That is either a minus 11 or a positive 11 (depending on the order).

Are you "one-ed" out? Just wait another 11 years, 1 month, and 1 day and then it will be 2/2/22.
