Argam for multiples of highly composite numbers
My long-running fascination with highly composite numbers extends to the senior year of high school, where they did appear in the CRC Standard Math Tables, 28th edition. The number 12 is highly composite and I have a love affair with that number; I did own it between 2008 and 2012 as a sort of mare nostrum. If 12 is good, then 60 better, etc. But it is clear that it is not so. This realization has a big “why” attached to it — it ought to be mathematically clear why. Thus I have returned to the consideration of these numbers and an even more special subset of them called the superior highly composite numbers, again and again. (See this paper for a new picture of the HCNs).
This page is extension of the study at s5231a93. At right, the top matrix set produces argam numerals for each of the products of the first several powers of 2, 3, and 5. This chart and the one below it were abandoned.
