Folks,
Join our Collaborative Project -* Numbers*
Recent collaborative discussions and illustrated some interesting methods
and challenges for our community. Words and Numbers.
I thought I would initiate a couple to stimulate activity from the
community, join in and contribute if you can otherwise lurkers are fine.
*AIM: *Develop and improve the ability for people to interrogate large
number lists with TiddlyWiki. Allow each number to be annotated with
relationships to other numbers.
*Inspiration: *Whatever your relationship to numbers, every number small or
large has its own qualities, do you have a favorite number?, did you know
the difference between 0 and one is either 1 or infinity?, Do you know
about the beauty in the primes?, and that most of the common numbers 12 in
a dozen, 24 hours a day, sixty seconds/minutes in a minute/hour and 360
degrees are all some of the most divisible numbers?
- Let us stick to the counting numbers - integers to start with.
- Let's have a way to annotate numbers with info we can share, manually,
programmatically or by import
- Learn more about numbers
- Build various number related algorithms in Tiddlywiki
- Identify primes, Squares, special number sequences
- Find what sequences fit within other well known sequences
Large lists present possible performance issues, Numbers can stay in a
single data tiddler, or generated in a list until you make a single tiddler
once you wish to add information to a given number. Canned search strings
that may interest people would also be fun, like reoccuring palindromes..
*Where do we start?*
- The best way to build a list of numbers and add annotations to each as
desired
- How do we best generate them? Look them up?
- How do we annotate numbers (eg if a number has the field prime it is a
prime number)
- What code would identify and flag which numbers are prime, can it
restart without returning to 1 if you extend you number set further?
- Provide an easy to use way to list numbers with a shared nature,
without necessarily re-computing
- How to we share new number annotations and relationships we can add to
our own list in a non-destructive way
Lets get started Numberphiles.
*A person who is a lover of numbers.*
