i dont think mathematicians had favorite numbers but i guess since he realized the importance of ten, i think ten would be one good one he really liked. And possible 0, if they discovered it yet! ;]
Is every cauchy sequence is convergent?
Every convergent sequence is Cauchy. Every Cauchy sequence in Rk is convergent, but this is not true in general, for example within S= {x:x€R, x>0} the Cauchy sequence (1/n) has no limit in s since 0 is not a member of S.
Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher and mathematician who lived around 500 BC. He discovered/created the Pythagorean theorem, whereby the squares of the two shorter sides of the triangles are equal to the square of the hypotenuse, or longest side.
His famed formula is: a2 + b2 = c2 where a= the length of one of the shorter sides, b=the length of the other shorter side, and c=the length of the longest side, or hypotenuse.
Leonhard Euler
What game was created by French Mathematician Blaise Pascal?
Pascal's Triangle
A triangle of numbers in which a row represents the coefficients of the binomial series. The triangle is bordered by ones on the right and left sides, and each interior entry is the sum of the two entries above. Similar to modern day Sudoku.

State and prove pumping lemma for regular languages?
Theorem :- Let M=(Q,S,δ,q0,F) be an Finite Automate and has n number of states. Let L be the regular language accepted by M .Let for every string x in L, there exists a constant n such that |x|>=n. Now , if the string x can be broken into three sub strings u,v and w such that
x=uvw
satisfying the following constraints :
1. v≠ ɛ i.e., |v|>=0
2. |uv|<= n
then uv1w is in L for i>=0
What problem did king hiero want Archimedes to solve?
During Archimedes' time in Syracuse, King Hieron, the king of Syracuse and a close friend of Archimedes, commissioned the construction of a beautiful golden crown.
