hi really like maths all maths it is such a brilliant subject my favorite parts of maths are differential equations and linear algebra i am a student at college i am doing A LEVL maths but i also enjoy doing extra maths sometimes in my spare time

become a researcher and go after phd, then

WAOW!! Then we are going to be best friend, i also do math in my spare time!! Love it!! ! (especially equation!)

Good for you! I enjoy math as well, I'm taking calculus in college at the moment, and I'm glad you like it as well though you're a good deal more advanced than myself.

an interesting problem. a perfect number is a number whose factors add to that number its self including 1 and excluding the number its self the first perfect number is 6 because the factors of 6 are 1,2 and 3 and they add to 6 what is the next perfect number after 6?

yo

Is it 28?

To WrongPlanet!! !

Yes....
for n = 2: 2^1(2^2 − 1) = 6
for n = 3: 2^2(2^3 − 1) = 28
for n = 5: 2^4(2^5 − 1) = 496
for n = 7: 2^6(2^7 − 1) = 8128.
