1728 = 123
First, why the number 1728 ? Well, it is twelve cubed (meaning 12 x 12 x 12 ) and why not a perfect cube for a math website?
Some other interesting properties of 1728:
33 x 43 = 1728
23 x 63 = 1728
63 + 83 + 103 = 1728
242 + 242 + 242 = 1728
Also the first 5 prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.
2 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 17
2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 = 28
Pretty neat huh ?
At first, our site consisted of 10 “non-interactive” pages which would get very few hits. Adding interactive calculators, increased traffic dramatically !!!

Site History
We are striving to make this a “no-frills” web-site. Therefore, this website will have NO FRAMES, NO FANCY GRAPHICS, NO SOUNDS, or anything else that takes forever to download. As a matter of fact we’ve gone over six years without posting a single advertisement.
With that in mind, links will be kept to a minimum and are now located halfway down on our home page.
If you really need to know, we are located a few miles north of Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Still, if you feel you need to contact us (and we encourage E-Mail), you can find our E-Mail addresses on the home page.
If you are looking for pictures of 1728 Software Systems, Calculator City, corporate offices, employees, and so on, well we feel there isn’t any need to post those either. Instead how about just the corporate logo?
On mid-May, 2011 our domain name was stolen by someone in China.
This made us angry.
