Goal.
I would like to tell you a bit about my favorite theorems, ideas or concepts in mathematics and why I like them so much.
This time.
What is...the fifteen theorem? Or: What is special about 1,2,3,5,6,7,10,14,15?
Disclaimer.
Nobody is perfect, and I might have said something silly. If there is any doubt, then please check the references.
