In mathematics

One hundred [and] thirty-seven is the 33rd prime number; the next is 139, with which it comprises a twin prime, and thus 137 is a Chen prime. 137 is an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part and a real part of the form 3n − 1. It is also the fourth Stern prime. 137 is a strong prime in the sense that it is more than the arithmetic mean of its two neighboring primes. In mathematics, a prime number (or a prime) is a natural number which has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: 1 and itself. ... 139 (One hundred thirty-nine) is the natural number following 138 and preceding 140. ... A twin prime is a prime number that differs from another prime number by two. ... A prime number p is called a Chen prime if p + 2 is either a prime or a product of two primes. ... An Eisenstein prime is an Eisenstein integer aω + b that has only two Eisenstein divisors, the complex cube root of unity and aω + b itself. ... A Stern prime is a prime number that is not the sum of a smaller prime and twice the square of a nonzero integer. ... A strong prime is a type of prime number that is sometimes used for certain cryptographic applications such as key generation for RSA keys. ...


Using two radii to divide a circle according to the golden ratio yields sectors of approximately 137° (the golden angle) and 222°. Not to be confused with Golden mean (philosophy), the felicitous middle between two extremes, Golden numbers, an indicator of years in astronomy and calendar studies, or the Golden Rule. ... The golden angle is the angle subtended by the smaller (red) arc when two arcs that make up a circle are in the golden ratio In geometry, the golden angle is the smaller of the two angles created by sectioning the circumference of a circle according to the golden section...

In mathematics, a primeval number is a natural number n for which the number of prime numbers which can be obtained by permuting all or some of its digits (in base 10) is larger than the number of primes obtainable in the same way for any smaller natural number. ...


In physics

The fine structure constant, a dimensionless physical constant, approximates 1/137, and the astronomer Arthur Eddington conjectured in 1929 that its inverse was in fact precisely the integer 137, which he claimed could be "obtained by pure deduction". This conjecture was not widely adopted, and by the 1940's, the experimental values for the constant were clearly inconsistent with it.[1] The fine-structure constant or Sommerfeld fine-structure constant, usually denoted , is the fundamental physical constant characterizing the strength of the electromagnetic interaction. ... In the physical sciences, a dimensionless number (or more precisely, a number with the dimensions of 1) is a quantity which describes a certain physical system and which is a pure number without any physical units; it does not change if one alters ones system of units of measurement... In physics, a physical constant is a physical quantity of a value that is generally believed to be both universal in nature and not believed to change in time. ...
