As we enter the brand-new year 2025, it’s time to bid farewell to 2024. Get ready to embrace fresh beginnings and flip to dazzling new calendars for the exciting year ahead. But here’s something exciting about the new year. 2025 isn’t just any ordinary year. It’s a big deal for math lovers because 2025 is a perfect square year. This rare and fascinating mathematical milestone makes the year extra special for fans of numbers, patterns, and logic. A video explaining why 2025 is called a "mathematical year" was recently shared on the social media platform Instagram and quickly went viral, sparking curiosity and excitement among math lovers!
In the video, the year 2025 is called a mathematical wonder. Why? Let’s break it down. 2025 is a perfect square of 45 (45×45 = 2025). It’s also the product of two squares (9 and 5). Furthermore, it’s the sum of three squares (40×40 + 20×20 + 5×5 = 2025). On top of that, 2025 is the sum of the cubes of digits from 1 to 9 (1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³ + 6³ + 7³ + 8³ + 9³ = 2025). It marks the first square year since 1936. It’s also the only square year our generation will experience, as the next square year will be in 2116, 92 years from now. Let’s make 2025 a year to remember, a mathematical marvel!

Till now, there have been 45 perfect square years in total. The previous perfect square year was 1936, which occurred 89 years ago. Before that, the perfect square year was 1849, which happened 87 years earlier.
The sequence of perfect square years began back in 1 AD. As the number grows larger, the gaps between perfect square years also get bigger, making each one feel even more significant.
