Princeton mathematician Manjul Bhargava explores the surprising properties of the number 142,857, which sits at the crossroads of number theory, magic and illusion. He explains why the number is so special, how to create others like it and what it means to classify such numbers, leading to the frontier of mathematics and the Riemann Hypothesis. An overflow room (McDonnell Hall A01) is also listed.
