The Maths behind Futurama


Another cool website. I always thought Futurama was absolutely awesome. Check out these Mathematical info scattered throughout the series.

- Bender 's number is 1729 i.e. the smallest nontrivial taxicab number
- In one episode Prof. Farnsworth refers to Witten's Dog ( real example of diagram elementary particles)
- The serial numbers of Bender and Flexo = sum of two cubes?
- Bender's Dating service is also a clever comment about discrete maths

Find out about all this, in technicolor detail from this site.
