This may be the dumbest nerdiest list I’ve ever made. It embarrasses me.
Fast Inverse Square Root ~ 0x5f3759df
The most magical of all magic numbers. Google if you’re curious but probably only if you’re also a programmer.
Avogadro’s Number ~ 6.02e23
Just an all around fascinating number. I mean really, heavy gas, light gas, doesn’t matter! It’s always the same. Surprising and cool. Of course now that I think about it, the fact that it is the same is probably what makes it possible for a gas to be “heavy” in the first place. Idk. It’s just cool.
Zero – 0
What a strange little monster. Adds nothing. Takes everything away. And makes so many things possible.
Feigenbaum Constant ~ 4.6692ish
If God is a number he is approximately equal to 4.6692.
Tau ~ 6.28ish
Like Pi’s more refined sister, equally important, more sensible, and way less trendy.
First Standard Deviation of the Normal Distribution ~ 68.2%
Thanks to the central limit theorem this is one powerful little number. Thank you for making statistical analysis work.
