And then there is the more exciting 'math' three...
3 is:
- a rough approximation of π (3.1415...) and a very rough approximation of e (2.71828..) when doing quick estimates.
- the first odd prime number,[2] and the second smallest prime.
- the first Fermat prime (22n + 1).
- the first Mersenne prime (2n − 1).
- the only number that is both a Fermat prime and a Mersenne prime.
- the first lucky prime.
- the first super-prime.
- the first unique prime due to the properties of its reciprocal.
- the second Sophie Germain prime.
- the second Mersenne prime exponent.
- the second factorial prime (2! + 1).
- the second Lucas prime.
- the second Stern prime.
- the second triangular number and it is the only prime triangular number.
- the third Heegner number.
- both the zeroth and third Perrin numbers in the Perrin sequence.
- the fourth Fibonacci number.
- the fourth open meandric number.
- the aliquot sum of 4.
- the smallest number of sides that a simple (non-self-intersecting) polygon can have.
- the only prime which is one less than a perfect square. Any other number which is n2 − 1 for some integer n is not prime, since it is (n − 1)(n + 1). This is true for 3 as well (with n = 2), but in this case the smaller factor is 1. If n is greater than 2, both n − 1 and n + 1 are greater than 1 so their product is not prime.
- the number of non-collinear points needed to determine a plane and a circle.

Interesting stuff, nice of you to share.
Interesting; but some are over my head.
I'm the 3rd comment!
do I get a prize?
Where's Numeric World when we really need her?
