At the risk of looking like an enormous dork, this is making me laugh much harder than it probably should:
The funniest part is that I actually taught the Collatz Conjecture to my calculus class...and now I have no friends anymore. Damn, I used to be so cool.
I joke. Of course I'm still cool. T-minus 2 days until Chile!
It's certainly a good one! In my opinion, any open problem that can actually be used as an illustrative example in a Calc II class...well...it's worth it's weight in gold!
Ok, so maybe this isn't the point of the post, but I love the Collatz conjecture! One of my favorite open problems!
