1001 (number)1001 is the natural number preceding 1002 and following 1000.
In mathematicsOne thousand one is a sphenic number and a pentagonal number.In other fieldsIt is sometimes used as a generic term for "many":
In the Mawlawiyyah order of Sufi Islam, a novice must complete 1001 days of prayer before becoming a dada, or junior teacher of the faith. In many cases, including the title Thousand and One Nights, 1001 is meant to indicate a "large number", but hardly to be taken literally. There are countless book titles starting with 1001. About twice as many books currently in print start with 1001 as with 1000. This marketing scheme is used to imply that the customer is getting a little extra information beyond books that have only 1000 items. For example:
:1001 Rezepte eines verliebten Kochs :1001 Nights of Pleasure :1001 Ways to Kill Yourself :Bugs Bunny's 1001 Rabbit Tales
Buckminster Fuller called 1001 (a palindromic number) a Scheherezade number in his book "Synergetics", since Scheherezade was the name of the story-telling wife in the "1001 Arabian Nights" This article is about the number. See also the years AD 1001 and 1001 BC. |
