  1. My first, favorite and most important sequence, the weights of prime numbers: A117078
    We see prime numbers classified by level and by weight on the graph.

    A117078: a(n) is the smallest k such that prime(n+1) = prime(n) + (prime(n) mod k), or 0 if no such k exists ➡️ oeis.org/A117078

  3. Hug #7 with elephant #6: Vincent van Trunk!

    In the early 2000s the eddies in van Gogh's The Starry Night were discovered to closely agree with a mathematical formulation of turbulence that was only developed in the 1940s

  8. Maths and Economics are perceived as guaranteed routes to high paying jobs…so I understand their current popularity with A Level students.

    But is this a sign of success for all?

    ‘70% of entries into A-level Economics are from males, and 23% of male Economics A-level students go on to study it at university, compared to just 16% of females.’

    According to AQA in 2022.
