  • Natural Numbers Between 1 and 100, Represented as Sum of Three Cubes

    Natural Numbers Between 1 and 100, Represented as Sum of Three Cubes

    It came to me as a shock that the first page of Google failed me when I wanted to show the following information at a party, so I wanted to post my own list.

    It is compiled from Internet News Articles, and Wikipedia.

    Note that in the case of a non-unique solution, preferably, the result with the smallest biggest term was taken. This claim is yet to be fully verified.

    1 = (-1)³ + 1³ + 1³

    2 = 7³ + (-5)³ + (-6)³

    3 = 1³ + 1³ + 1³

    6 = (-1)³ + (-1)³ + 2³

    7 = 104³ + 32³ + (-105)³

    8 = (-1)³ + 1³ + 2³

    9 = 217³ + (-52)³ + (-216)³

    71 = (-1)³ + 2³ + 4³

    72 = 7³ + 9³ + (-10)³

    73 = 1³ + 2³ + 4³

    74 = (-284650292555885)³ + (66229832190556)³ + (283450105697727)³

    75 = 4381159³ + 435203083³ + (-435203231)³

    99 = 2³ + 3³ + 4³

    100 = 7³ + (-3)³ + (-6)³

    Numbers that are 4 or 5 (mod 9) cannot be written as three cubes because all natural numbers’ cubes can only be 0, 1 or 8 (mod 9), and with three of them we cannot make a 4 nor a 5.

    I think that because I’ve opted out of AMP and Ad services on this site, I still won’t make it to first page of Google, even when searching the exact title of this page.

    Quick Scientific Symbols via Apple Text Replacement

    Some of my text-friends ask me how I can quickly type out mathematical symbols when we are discussing homework problems. Well, for one, I enabled the Greek keyboard on my phone, and then there’s this: taking advantage of the automatic text-replacement system built right in macOS and iOS.
