They say one man's garbage is another man's treasure. Well what may be one man's tedium is my fascination.

My latest infatuation with numbers stems from the simple fact that:

1^2 =   1 =  1
2^2 =   4 =  1 + 3
3^2 =   9 =  1 + 3 + 5
4^2 =  16 =  1 + 3 + 5 + 7  
5^2 =  25 =  1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9

I know it doesn't seem like much to be excited about but I can't stop thinking about this. It's as if there lies a secret in this information, a secret that I have to find. I haven't found it yet but I will keep looking!

By the way, don't you think that's just the coolest thing? n^2 = the sum of the first n odd integers
