Thirty Years' War Orders Of Battle

30 (thirty) is the natural number following 29 and preceding 31.

In mathematics

30 is an even, composite, pronic number. With 2, 3, and 5 as its prime factors, it is a regular number and the first sphenic number, the smallest of the form , where is a prime greater than 3. It has an aliquot sum of 42, which is the second sphenic number.

It is also:
* A semiperfect number, since adding some subsets of its divisors (e.g., 5, 10 and 15) equals 30.
* A primorial.
* A Harshad number in decimal.
* Divisible by the number of prime numbers ( 10) below it.
* The largest number such that all coprimes smaller than itself, except for 1, are prime.
* The sum of the first four squares, making it a square pyramidal number.
* The number of vertices in the Tutte–Coxeter graph.
* The measure of the central angle and exterior angle of a dodecagon, which is the petrie polygon of the 24-cell.
* The number of sides of a triacontagon, which in turn is the petrie polygon of the 120-cell and 600-cell.
* The number of sides of a dodecahedron and icosahedron, of vertices of an icosidodecahedron, and of faces of a rhombic dodecahedron.
* The sum of the number of elements of a 5-cell: 5 vertices, 10 edges, 10 faces, and 5 cells.
* The Coxeter number of ''E''₈.

Furthermore,

In a group , such that $, G, =p^\times m$, where does not divide , and has a subgroup of order $p^$, 30 is the only number less than 60 that is neither a prime nor of the aforementioned form. Therefore, 30 is the only candidate for the order of a simple group less than 60, in which one needs other methods to specifically reject to eventually deduce said order.
