Actually 69 does not really have any special number-theoretic properties (sum-of-powers, primality, etc.) and almost all of the "special" numbers encountered in analysis are transcendental.

Here are some of the more common special numbers:

Out of those, the ones I most frequently encounter and use are the following. All have some really amazing propeties. :D
Archimedes' Constant (p)
Natural Logarithm Base (e)
Euler-Mascheroni Constant
Gamma Function Constants
Exponential Integral Constants
Stieltjes Constants
Khinchin's Constant
Omega Constant

I will post some nice special function proofs in a little while. ;7

Post by: beatspete on September 21, 2002, 08:05:29 am: 69? Thats the biggest factorial (ie 1x2x3x4...x69) number you can fit into most calculators... Apart from 69.000000001! which is ever so slightly higher. I managed to waste some time in maths working that out, i was quite proud.
