Sum of Cubes1


Welcome to the homepage of Tom Glass, Math Instructor at Shasta College.

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." -Steve Jobs

1. The name of this website has been inspired by the anecdote between G.H. Hardy and S. Ramanujan. Ramanujan was sick in bed, so Hardy took a cab numbered 1729 to visit Ramanujan. Hardy commented that 1729 was a uninteresting number. Quickly, Ramanujan replied something like, "Actually, 1729 is a very interesting number. It is the smallest number representable in two different ways as the sum of two cubes." Ramanujan was correct.
