  1. #DidYouKnow: The #Collatz #Conjecture, also known as the "hailstone conjecture" or the "3n + 1 problem," is one of the most famous unsolved problems in mathematics.

    The conjecture asks whether repeating two simple arithmetic operations will eventually transform every positive integer into 1

  3. I algebraically expressed all possible combinations of the outcomes of #Collatz Conjecture with an iterative rule set to see how many I could prove as not producing x>0 as an integer (which would indicate a loop).

    I have a tree with two sets of expressions that cannot loop. One for trivial reasons and one because the rules say you can't do that.

    Anyone else want to play?

  4. Ich glaube, die #Collatz-Vermutung (auch "#Syracuse-Problem, dem #Ulam-Problem, der 3n + 1-Vermutung, vom #Hasse-Algorithmus oder dem #Kakutani-Problem.") ist nicht beweisbar, da die Funktionweise des #Algorithmus auf der axiomatischen Festlegung "gerader" und "ungerader" Zahlen beruht > nicht| ohne Rest durch 2 teilbar.

    Doch was weiß ich schon?
    Ich bin kein Mathematiker, nur ein Jurist, der den Gödelschen Unvollständigkeitssatz kennt.

  5. @ColinTheMathmo Hi, You got overly excited about calling Chartodon when you were too busy Xmas Eve, but you needn't digest an entire conversation unless you want to.

    My request was potentially simpler, and to quote my original post to you:

    "It turns out that our new user Ben (Dec 12), who I was talking to a bit because we have a shared passion for factorization and related topics, is *also* interested in doing math related crafting and looming!

    "I'm CC'ing you because I know there are a lot of people here who would be interested in such things, but I'm not sure how to put them in contact or if there's a list or something.

    "Ben said '...I've also got an idea for a visualisation of the reverse #collatz conjecture in mod 6, 18, 54 etc but I want to do it as a craft project with coloured thread and I need to make a loom first.'

    The original thread that you appeared to Chartodon:

    "I think somewhere here is a visual proof of #collatz not looping."

    Naturally that would be fantastic. Interesting lead / path you're following there.

  9. [Matt Parker] on the completion of The Great Collatz Collab in which hundreds of schools picked 3 digit numbers to test the Collatz Conjecture, which were then collated into a single large map

  10. 🧮 A new algorithm to multiply two numbers, out of nowhere. Extremely simple!
    It's basically a simple double iteration of a function of the 3n+1 problem (Collatz conjecture).

    sci-hub.uno/10.1007/s00224-020

    It is conditioned on Collatz conjecture being true. Which seems to be the case, although we can't prove it. (But one must always be wary of this kind of belief.)
