| Title of Talk | Why Are the Morphic Numbers Similar in the End? |
| Abstract | Charles W. Trigg was the most prolific contributor to "Journal of Recreational Mathematics" during the 38 volumes of publication. One series of his papers deals with the “…morphic” numbers. These are figurate numbers that terminate with their index. For example, trimorphic numbers are triangular numbers that terminate with their index. Some examples are T(25) = 325 and T(625) = 195625 and T(9376) = 43959376. When searching for more of the morphic numbers, it was discovered that there is a curious similarity to the terminal ends. The purpose of this paper is to state that similarity and offer it as a research project. |
