📜 Daily poem
The Midnight Tether
A single neon thread, In the quiet, velvet night. Feeding juice to the silicon head, Bathed in a soft, electric light. Waiting for the dawn to break, And the wheels to stir and wake.

Francis Galton
Francis Galton was a Victorian polymath whose work laid the foundational groundwork for much of modern statistics. He is credited with developing the concept of correlation and the use of regression toward the mean. While his contributions to meteorology and human genetics were significant, his legacy remains a subject of intense study due to his involvement in the early, controversial era of eugenics.
🔢 Number theory fact
The Efficiency of Abundance
A superabundant number is a natural number that is 'extremely' divisible, meaning the ratio of its sum of divisors to the number itself is greater than that of any smaller number. These numbers are highly prized in number theory because they are packed with small prime factors, making them incredibly efficient at being divided by many different integers.
