### Source excerpt

Welcome to the 233rd Carnival of Mathematics! Who can forget 233, the 6th Fibonacci prime? Hey, not all numbers are interesting. Don't ask me about the smallest positive uninteresting number. You can't make it interesting with your feeble mind tricks! Anyway, on to the fun. Provers and Shakers The big discovery this month was a new largest known prime number, $2^{136279841} - 1$, as reported by the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search.

### AI overview

The 209th Carnival of Mathematics highlights mathematical properties of the number 209 and curates videos, talks, workshops, and social-media discussions covering mathematical visualization, pi, geometric puzzles, graph limits, random graphs, network models, post-quantum cryptography, and related topics.

### Source excerpt

Welcome to the 209th Carnival of Mathematics! 209 has a few distinctions, including being the smallest number with 6 representations as a sum of 3 positive squares: $$\begin{aligned}209 &= 1^2 + 8^2 + 12^2 \\\ &= 2^2 + 3^2 + 14^2 \\\ &= 2^2 + 6^2 + 13^2 \\\ &= 3^2 + 10^2 + 10^2 \\\ &= 4^2 + 7^2 + 12^2 \\\ &= 8^2 + 8^2 + 9^2 \end{aligned}$$ As well as being the 43rd Ulam number, the number of partitions of 16 into relatively prime parts and the number of partitions of 63 into squares.

### AI overview

The 197th Carnival of Mathematics introduces the number 197 and highlights mathematical and technical topics including curve untangling, folding equilateral triangles without measurement, and criticism of UMAP and t-SNE dimensionality reduction.

### Source excerpt

Welcome to the 197th Carnival of Mathematics! 197 is an unseemly number, as you can tell by the Wikipedia page which currently says that it has "indiscriminate, excessive, or irrelevant examples." How deviant. It's also a Repfigit, which means if you start a fibonacci-type sequence with the digits 1, 9, 7, and then continue with $ a_n = a_{i-3} + a_{i-2} + a_{i-1}$, then 197 shows up in the sequence. Indeed: 1, 9, 7, 17, 33, 57, 107, 197, ...
