Does anyone have any interesting facts about the number 2017?
It's a prime and part of a sexy prime pair with 2011.
It's a zero of the Mertens function
 (2017) = (2017-1) + (2017-2)

Also, 2017 is in the center of the immediate prime neighbours: 2011 on the left and 2027 on the right. Assembled together they all form yet another prime:
201120172027

In hexadecimal it is 7e1, which in decimal scientific notation represents 7.

- for the record:
2017 = 92 + 442
where nine is three squared and forty four is, of course, twenty two squared, 
- low intensity love affair with 9: recursively subtract the sum of digits of the current number from the current number:
2017 - 10 = 2007
and so, downward, we subtract: occasionally 27 but mostly 9 and 18 [at some point: 1818-18]
- interpreted as "a 24-hour period" it is 84 days and one hour:
2017 = 24x84 + 1 = 2016 + 1
- a busy beetle, running along a circumference, will count 5 full revolutions and then some:
2017 = 360x5 + 217
where the remainder corresponds to 7/6 past 7 on the face of an analogue clock
Any interest in constructing the first 100 natural numbers from the digits in 2017 and some basic operations?
0 = 2 x 0 x 1 x 7
1 = (2 + 0 - 1)7
2 = 2 + 0 x 1 x 7
3 = 2 + 1 + 0 x 7
4 = 7 - 1 - 0 - 2
5 = 7 - 2 - 0 x 1
6 = 7 - 1 - 2 x 0
7 = 7 + 2 x 0 x 1
8 = 7 + 1 + 2 x 0
9 = 7 + 2 + 0 x 1
10 = 2 + 0 + 1 + 7
11 = 2 + 0! + 1 + 7

12 = 12 + 0 x 7
or 12 = 3 x 2 + 7 - 0!

This is a result of the fact that the digits of multiples of 9 add to a multiple of 9. (and subtracting a multiple of 9 from another yields a multiple of 9 as well.)
I would be interested in whether there were any numbers (past a certain point) which didn't have a low-intensity love affair with 9.

20 = 7x(2 + 1) - 0!
21 = 7x(2 + 1) + 0
Separately, as a sum of consecutive primes (A000040) I only managed to assemble 2011:
2011 = 157 + ... + 211
Doesn't seem to work for 2017.

With the help of a (C) program:
2011 = 661 + 673 + 677
2015 = 389 + 397 + 401 + 409 + 419
2016 = 71 + ... + 157
No cigar for 2017.

It's not terribly interesting.
The sum of the digits of a number is the same value mod 9 as the number itself (because 10n*an = 1n*an = an (mod 9) ) so subtracting the sum of digits from the original number gives a multiple of 9 for any [e]positive[/e] integer

I concur, we made it too easy for ourselves.
Will the following "conservation of ordinal position" constraint make it more interesting:
- the digits in the construction must keep their yearly position
The construct with the smallest number of operat[ions]/[ors] shall win:
0 = 2 x 0 x 1 x 7
1 = (2 - 0 - 1)7
2 = 2 - 0 x 1 x 7
3 = -2 - 0! - 1 + 7
4 = -2 - 0 - 1 + 7
5 = -2 - 0 x 1 + 7
6 = -2 - 0 + 1 + 7
7 = 2 x 0 x 1 + 7
8 = 2 x 0 + 1 + 7
9 = 2 - 0 x 1 + 7
10 = 2 - 0 + 1 + 7
11 = 2 + 0! + 1 + 7
12 = 20 - 1 - 7
13 = (2 - 0 + 1)! + 7
14 = 20 + 1 - 7
15 = -2 + 0 + 17
16 = -2 + 0! + 17
17 = 2 x 0 + 17
18 = 2 - 0! + 17
19 = 2 + 0 + 17

He was talking about something else, though...
20 = 20 * 17
21 = (20+1)*7 20 + 17
22 = log(20!) * 1 + log(7!)
23 =  log(20!) * 1 + log(7!)
24 = log(20!) + 1 + log(7!)
25 = exp( (2+0) * ln(-1+ (7)) )
26 = 20 - 1 + 7
27 = 20 + 1 * 7
28 = 20 + 1 + 7
29 = 20 + 1 * ln(7!)
30 = 20 + 1 + ln(7!)
31 = 20 + ln((1+7)!)
32 = 2(-0! - 1 + 7)
33 = exp(20-1*7)
34 = (2 + 0) * 17
35 = exp(2)* (-0!-1+7)
36 = exp(2) - 0!* (-1+7)
37 = 20 + 17
38 = ((201)) - ln(7)
39 = ((201)) - ln(7)
40 = ((201)) * ln(7)
41 = ((201)) + ln(7)
42 = ((201)) + ln(7)
43 = ((201)) + log(exp(7))
44 = ((201)) + log(exp(7))
45 = exp(2)* ln((0*1+7)!)
I'll leave the winning to someone else, it's hard enough getting this far.

Nice.
I am sure it's just a typo - for 21 you meant 20 + 17.

Yeah, I know - programmer's habit to reuse things.
Speaking of reuse - let's reuse!
46 = -2 - 0 + (-1 + 7)!!
47 = -2 + 0! + (-1 + 7)!! = ((2 + 0!)!)!! - 17
48 = (2 + 0!)! x (1 + 7)
49 = ((2 + 0!)! + 1) x 7
50 = 2 + 0 + (-1 + 7)!!
51 = (2 + 0!) x 17 = -20 +  (1 + 7!) = !((2 + 0!)! - 1) + 7
52 = 20! + 1! + 7!!! 2 x (0! + 1) x F7
53 = 2h(0! + 1) + 7!!!! (e2- 0!)!! - e1+ 7
54 = (2 + 0!)! + (-1 + 7)!!
55 = ((2 + 0 + 1)!)!! + 7
56 = ((2 + 0! + 1)!! x 7
Reference:
h(n) - hexagonal numbers A000384
n!! is A006882
n!!! is A007661

Hmm, editing that mistake screwed up the whole post. The symbol script doesn't seem to work on this computer.
I also think that when you start needing references, it may be going a bit over the top. You can probably find some function f(x) that does exactly what you want somewhere on the web, or otherwise put it somewhere.
Maybe it's an idea to limit it to what wolframalpha will accept? That should be broad enough. So n!! is ok, but not n!!!

(I haven't thrown them all through wolfram-alpha yet. it sometimes reacts a bit different than python)

in general
2k+0 = lb(2)+log(0!/(1%....%))+7
2k+1 = 2+log(0!/(1%....%))+7
(Which is definitely not the least number of operators for most)

I've checked till 120 - wolframalpha has issues with 87, 89, 94 and 111.
With 94 it's just a typo - extra parens are needed around 1%: "((2^0) / (1%)) - totient(7)"
