In various areas of mathematics, | In various areas of mathematics, there are questions (sometimes very specific ones) with no apparent application, that may yet be interesting to figur eout | ||
Within logic and number theory, consider logic puzzles, geometric puzzles, theorhetical game puzzles. | |||
Within number theory, consider integer and/or digit based (which are often base dependent) definitions such as the definition of Happy Numbers, various integer sequences (often based on such properties), and things like Magic Squares. | |||
They may | |||
reveal interesting properties. | |||
be good demonstrations, | |||
lead to some good exercise of how to compute answers, | |||
...or may have properties that end up being useful later. | |||
Consider how prime number theory found importance in cryptography. | |||
