> Small numbers are weird. Weird and wonderful :). Thanks for all the examples, makes me wanna crack open my abstract algebra book! I decided to go into engineering when I got out of high school, but part of me was leaning towards pure maths. Still feel that yearning when I read things like this. So incredibly fascinating, simple, and yet wildly complex at the same time. I've worked a lot on chaos theory in the context of celestial mechanics and the gravitational 3-body problem (Newtonian). After having done my MSc thesis in the field and nearing the completion of my PhD in it, I still can't get my head around how such an incredibly simple problem can spawn such a wealth of complexity and beauty. Kinda envious of Poincaré when he first mapped out the tremendous complexity and structure underpinning it all. Small numbers rule.
