...equal to 7 x 13 x 19, and he hoped it was not an unfavourable omen. " No," replied Ramanujan, " 1729 is a very interesting number : it is the smallest...expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways." It has been remarked of Ramanujan that prime numbers seemed to be his personal friends. Despite the... | |

...1729, and surely that was a rather dull number. Ramanujan instantly replied that, to the contrary, 1729 is a very interesting number. It is the smallest number...expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways. Thus, 1729 = 93 + 103 = I3 + 123. So the taxicab number 1729 gives a cubic curve x3 + ya = 1729 which... | |

It is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways." (The two ways are 123 + 13, and 103 + 93.) Ramanujan died in India in 1920, age thirty-two. 3. Freeman... | |
