All about 24. No, not Jack Bauer. The number 24 that plays “a central role in mathematics thanks to a series of ‘coincidences’ that is just beginning to be understood.” I don’t link to the n-Category Cafe too much since it’s probably not of interest to most. But it’s one of my favorite blogs. Sadly Baez’ full talk isn’t available online yet (although the slides are) He also has up slides on his other favorite numbers.
