Who else thought this video was going to be about the factorial of 715 based on the thumbnail?
False advertising right there.
I thought it was, but when they started talk about baseball, I felt heartbroken
I did. Thanks for the false advertisement Brady.
Yep
Clickbait!
Writes joke article, which lets him meet both the most famous mathematician of the century AND the athlete the article was about.
Wow.
"That's perverse, but let's do it."
Exactly what I like to hear from a mathematician!
Perhaps an admission that some mathematicians are perverts
What a fantastic story - loved the twist at the honorary degree ceremony!
Let. Life. Happen.
I thought it was going to be, judging by the title:

... and I see no interesting properties (yet)
Agent M duuude , can you take the 100th power of this
Sarp Kaplan thats overpowered...
Agent M If you multiply this number by e/(715!), you get euler's number!
Wow, what a coincidence!
Der Fret Wow.! You deserve an Oscar for telling that.
This video tells an amazing story. I love it.
just gave ya the 714th like btw ;p
false.
4:38 "That's perverse, but let's do it."
This is the raunchy numberphile content that I subscribed to see.
I had to make sure to pause and lock my door haha
I found another interesting property.
If you subtract one from the other, you get 1.
This property appears in many neighboring number pairs, as in 716 and 715, 717 and 716, and 718 and 717. Have we discovered that 715 and 714 are the start to a large and unique cluster of numbers with this amazing property!?
Also, if you subtract one from one of them, you get the other.
Yes, smart, but can you generalise it for all +ve adjacent pair of integers, I have a hunch you can't and a'm looking for an exception.
Also if you turn them upside down you get "SIL" and"hIL", which rhyme.
Eoin D, bonus fact: that's where the name of the game Silent Hill comes from.
This was probably one of the cooler stories I've ever heard
If you're just a baseball fan, 715! isn't all that misleading. It was the NY Daily newspaper headline, and probably the most famous of them.
There seems to be a rogue factorial in the video thumbnail.

715!715 in HAN (Hyperfactorial Array Notation)
TREE (715)!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazed by how unpredictable this story is
The fact that Erdos and Aaron were in the same ceremony
what an absolutely crazy moment
This story is just too good, come on tell me Brady made it up! Every minute the story and the mathematical properties got more and more interesting.
"just looks like a new baseball". Heart breaks
3:49 That might be the most 1974-looking guy I've ever seen.
So - you got an Erdös-Number of 1 out of a joke? Fantastic!
An Erdös number of 0.05, actually.
In the other video, Ron Graham said that if you had n papers with Erdös, your number would 1/n.
Professor- Hank...your and Ruth's hr totals when multiplied together is the product of consecutive primes.
Aaron - Wut?
"That's perverse, but let's do it!"
Sounds like a herald of discovery ^^
"It's perverse, but let's do it!" :D
Although I do agree writing a paper with Dr Erdos was a great honor, the man did in fact write papers with just about everyone. To the point where it spawned the "erdos number" which measures a math authors prominence based on how many steps removed in paper authorship they are to erdos. Which , of course makes Dr Pomerance a degree #1 mathematician, which is to say, an important guy!
A great video telling a great story! I like when my math comes packaged with history.

Oh, I expected a bit more traffic. Bless your soul Hank.
Maybe Periodic Videos could have a go at restoring the signatures?
That's a brilliant idea! Someone should tweet this at Brady...
cogwheel42 bump!
Could try a UV light on the baseball
That Baseball would probably cost millions by now if the signature was still visible. RIP Money xD
He could rewrite them you silly person, then he still gets the monies.
If by "millions" you mean "a couple hundred" then you're correct.
Might be there are mathematicians with money, who would pay more than a couple hundred. Some have billions. :)

"10^6" ≈ "10^2"
Get out, you filthy physicist.
I feel bad for the student who gave them this idea in the first place and has been lost in nameless obscurity ever since.
YES! I just made a comment about that. They just took credit for the student's idea!
ha ha ha!!.... What a story mark!!
What's a story mark?
oh hi doggy
“I GOT THE RESULTS OF THE TEST BACK. I DEFINITELY HAVE BREAST CANCER.”
It's actually amazing how Erdos changed so many people's lives
One of the reasons I admire Numberphile videos started from a wonderful article about Paul Erdos in The Atlantic magazine sometimes during the 1990's. I love baseball and softball, so this was a really great video. Thanks - so much!
Nice.
Nice
Bepo yes... nice :)
nice
blah
nice
This one got me in the feels.
Stan Musial hit 475 home runs. 475 factors into 5x5x19. 5+5+19=29. Same as Ruth and Aaron.
7:00 - when a funny anecdote turns amazing...
Fabolous ramifications of a world record. Thank you for that story!!
One of the most wholesome videos on this channel
The best story ever told in numberphile, I wish there are tons of other great number related stories
Watching after Mr. Aaron passed away. Rest in Peace
What a great story. I had very low expectations coming here, but really enjoyed this.
did the student that added the primes get ANY recognition or prize, like bonus points on an exam, a "thank you" to the student on your paper, or something?
I think he was mentioned in the article
@@mickeymoose636 I presume students have to learn and pass exams. Professors have time to persue research and publish papers which is how they get funding for them and their institutions, no funding = no teaching to students so it balances out. Surprised the effect had not been noticed or published before though,
Was there a correlation between posting this video on the 10 year anniversary of Barry Bonds breaking Hank Aaron's home run record? If not, that is a crazy coincidence.
Wow! I'd heard the Erdős-Aaron story before, so imagine my surprise when it was this guy's baseball. Also, Dr. Pomerance sure has aged well.
A truly great story
This guy is great,I want more videos of him
"What if I changed these time signs into plus signs? You know.. That's perverse, but let's do it."
And the Braves won the World Series in 1995 also. Enjoyed the story. Hank was a legend. He is missed.
This is amazing and I won't be forgetting this story. Thank you for sharing this.
Listening to Hello Internet and then getting a notification of Numberphile! Couldn't be happier
This is probably my favorite Numberphile video
What a fantastic story. One of the best Numberphiles. Thank you
My grandmother heard the name Hank Aaron from the video and asked me about it. And the moment I paused the video was accidentally 7:14
This is the first Numberphile video that brought a tear to my eye
I have gone through all comments to find one saying how touching this video is!
Brilliant. I will show this to all my friends.
This video made me smile. Such an amazing story!
Thanks for this wonderful story.
I'm so glad Hank Aaron got to hear your story!
So many amazing and lovely stories out there. Thanks for posting!
Absolutely fantastic!
Heart warming story somehow.
This story is just amazing. Life is beautiful.
Absolutely amazing story, with my favorite sport to boot! Thanks Brady!
What a great story. Truly a great watch.
I thought it said 715 factorial...
Boy! This is the greatest maths story we've never heard of!
Try using non-visible spectrum cameras to try and image the signatures on that baseball.
the lighting here was perfect, loved the colors! A great video of a great story, thanks!
Shouldn't the student who found the property have been given more credit?
Old school Numberphile!!!!
Just talking about a couple of specific numbers and why they are awesome.
This is the kind of video that I first subscribed for!!!!!!!
Anyone else notice that the scoreboard in the bottom left at around 0:25 is impossible? There would be no bottom of the ninth - the home team would already be up 4-3 and have won by that point.
Yes, I did too.
More like this. This is why I love this channel. Thank you.
+fatsquirrel75 cheers for watchibg
The greatest channel on youtube, in honesty.
I'm EUROPEAN. I can understand MATH, but not BASEBALL!

@@jogolock1190
Aside from the British (and Irish?), not many European people have the slightest idea on what croquet is about (mistake intended, btw).
This video is a great representation of why I love Numberphile so much!
If you do things that interest you for no other reason than they interest you, odds are you will have a fulfilling life. Thanks professor.
Very moving and narrative, almost like a script for a movie
As a lifelong Orioles' fan, and a Marylander for most of my life, much kudos do I give you for the Cal Ripken Jr. baseball card images scene in the montage at the beginning of this video!
When Erdös received his honorary degree in 1995, that was also the same year that Ripken broke the consecutive games played record
I wasn't expecting such an awesome (non-math) story to be told when I clicked on the thumbnail!
What a fantastic story! Amazing what can be a life changing moment.
An amazing story!!! What's more is that he doesn't refer to those amazing circumstances as 'fate' or anything of that sort... he's a mathematician and therefore realises that highly improbable things happen with surprising frequency!
Brady, I watched this following today's Primitive Numbers Video, with Jared Lichtman.
I broke down as Prof Pomerance described his burgeoning relationship with Paul Erdos. I recall Erdos met and mentored Terrence Tao. It just fills me with joy to hear about such wonderful human beings.
Cheers cobber.
The question related to the first property of 714 and 715 can be restated as "Which numbers are both primorials and pronic numbers?". The primorials 2#, 3#, 5#, 7#, and 17# are 5 examples. The corresponding indices in the pronic numbers are 1, 2, 5, 14, and 714 respectively. Searching for larger examples of the first property of 714 and 715 is thus equivalent to searching for larger pronic primorials. By dividing by 2, this is also equivalent to asking "Which triangular numbers are the product of the first n odd primes for some n?".
RIP Hank Aaron :(
Another off thing about Hank Aaron's homeruns. They're all about 4's:
1) the most most homeruns Aaron had in a season is 44. He did that 4 times.
2) He tied with Willie McCovey in one season . Both players wore the number 44.
3) He hit homerun 715 in the 4th inning off Al Downing. Who also wore number 44.
This video was a delight! Great story!
This is one of the coolest stories.
When he mentioned Paul Erdős, I could somewhat sense they'd maybe write a joined paper :D
The scoreboard at 0:25 is wrong. The home team would have been leading 4-3 heading into the bottom of the 9th, hence they would not have batted and would not have scored 3 runs in the bottom of the 9th.
So the teams do not take turns in each round, but only the team with less points bats, i. e. has the chance to score?
@@xCorvus7x The visiting team bats first (at the top of) each inning, as the home team was leading by 4 and the visitors were at 3 at the top of the 9th, them getting 0 runs would mean the game would end since having the home team bat again would be irrelevant as they already lead the game by a run. Hence why RCPlanes said they couldn't get 3 more runs at the bottom of the 9th because according to the game's rules the game can end halfway into the 9th if the visiting team is behind in runs and doesn't score anything in their part of the 9th.
@@nathanielp3929
Ah, so the teams _do_ take turns, but in this case the last round could be skipped as it doesn't matter by which margin a team wins?
RCPlanes59 I might be wrong but the picture has a tenth inning
What a great story, and shows that the world at times can be a small place!
Wow cool re-combinations (Ruth-Aaron and Erdos-Pomerance ).
You never know where greatness might come from.
