One GOOGOLPLEX is a ONE followed by one googol zeroes. (you couldn’t write a googolplex even in a million years) 10googol = The names Googol and Googolplex were created by a 9 year old boy named Milton Sirotta around 1940, who was the nephew of Edward Kasner. The name "googol" was invented when Dr. Kasner asked his nephew to think up a name for a very big number, namely 1 with a hundred zeroes after it. He was very certain that this number was not infinite, and therefore equally certain that it had to have a name. At the same time that he suggested "googol" he gave a name for a still larger number: "Googolplex." A googolplex is much larger than a googol, but is still finite. It was first suggested that a googolplex should be 1, followed by writing zeros until you got tired. The googolplex is, then, a specific finite number, with so many zeros after the 1 that the number of zeros is a googol. And not many people even know this… Googolplexian which = 10googolplex .

  • Grade 7/8 Math Circles the Scale of Numbers Introduction
    Faculty of Mathematics Centre for Education in Waterloo, Ontario N2L 3G1 Mathematics and Computing Grade 7/8 Math Circles November 21/22/23, 2017 The Scale of Numbers Introduction Last week we quickly took a look at scientific notation, which is one way we can write down really big numbers. We can also use scientific notation to write very small numbers. 1 × 103 = 1; 000 1 × 102 = 100 1 × 101 = 10 1 × 100 = 1 1 × 10−1 = 0:1 1 × 10−2 = 0:01 1 × 10−3 = 0:001 As you can see above, every time the value of the exponent decreases, the number gets smaller by a factor of 10. This pattern continues even into negative exponent values! Another way of picturing negative exponents is as a division by a positive exponent. 1 10−6 = = 0:000001 106 In this lesson we will be looking at some famous, interesting, or important small numbers, and begin slowly working our way up to the biggest numbers ever used in mathematics! Obviously we can come up with any arbitrary number that is either extremely small or extremely large, but the purpose of this lesson is to only look at numbers with some kind of mathematical or scientific significance. 1 Extremely Small Numbers 1. Zero • Zero or `0' is the number that represents nothingness. It is the number with the smallest magnitude. • Zero only began being used as a number around the year 500. Before this, ancient mathematicians struggled with the concept of `nothing' being `something'. 2. Planck's Constant This is the smallest number that we will be looking at today other than zero.

  • A Child Thinking About Infinity
    A Child Thinking About Infinity David Tall Mathematics Education Research Centre University of Warwick COVENTRY CV4 7AL Young children’s thinking about infinity can be fascinating stories of extrapolation and imagination. To capture the development of an individual’s thinking requires being in the right place at the right time. When my youngest son Nic (then aged seven) spoke to me for the first time about infinity, I was fortunate to be able to tape-record the conversation for later reflection on what was happening. It proved to be a fascinating document in which he first treated infinity as a very large number and used his intuitions to think about various arithmetic operations on infinity. He also happened to know about “minus numbers” from earlier experiences with temperatures in centigrade. It was thus possible to ask him not only about arithmetic with infinity, but also about “minus infinity”. The responses were thought-provoking and amazing in their coherent relationships to his other knowledge. My research in studying infinite concepts in older students showed me that their ideas were influenced by their prior experiences. Almost always the notion of “limit” in some dynamic sense was met before the notion of one to one correspondences between infinite sets. Thus notions of “variable size” had become part of their intuition that clashed with the notion of infinite cardinals. For instance, Tall (1980) reported a student who considered that the limit of n2/n! was zero because the top is a “smaller infinity” than the bottom. It suddenly occurred to me that perhaps I could introduce Nic to the concept of cardinal infinity to see what this did to his intuitions.

Large numbers typically refer to large positive integers, or more generally, large positive real numbers, but may also be used in other contexts. Very large numbers often occur in fields such as mathematics, cosmology, and cryptography. Sometimes people refer to numbers as being “astronomically large”. However, it is easy to mathematically define numbers that are much larger than those even in astronomy. We are familiar with the large magnitudes, such as million or billion.

  • Hyperoperations and Nopt Structures
    Hyperoperations and Nopt Structures Alister Wilson Abstract (Beta version) The concept of formal power towers by analogy to formal power series is introduced. Bracketing patterns for combining hyperoperations are pictured. Nopt structures are introduced by reference to Nept structures. Briefly speaking, Nept structures are a notation that help picturing the seed(m)-Ackermann number sequence by reference to exponential function and multitudinous nestings thereof.

  • Ever Heard of a Prillionaire? by Carol Castellon Do You Watch the TV Show
    Ever Heard of a Prillionaire? by Carol Castellon Do you watch the TV show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” hosted by Regis Philbin? Have you ever wished for a million dollars? "In today’s economy, even the millionaire doesn’t receive as much attention as the billionaire. Winners of a one-million dollar lottery find that it may not mean getting to retire, since the million is spread over 20 years (less than $3000 per month after taxes)."1 "If you count to a trillion dollars one by one at a dollar a second, you will need 31,710 years. Our government spends over three billion per day. At that rate, Washington is going through a trillion dollars in a less than one year. or about 31,708 years faster than you can count all that money!"1 I’ve heard people use names such as “zillion,” “gazillion,” “prillion,” for large numbers, and more recently I hear “Mega-Million.” It is fairly obvious that most people don’t know the correct names for large numbers. But where do we go from million? After a billion, of course, is trillion. Then comes quadrillion, quintrillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, and decillion. One of my favorite challenges is to have my math class continue to count by "illions" as far as they can. 6 million = 1x10 9 billion = 1x10 12 trillion = 1x10 15 quadrillion = 1x10 18 quintillion = 1x10 21 sextillion = 1x10 24 septillion = 1x10 27 octillion = 1x10 30 nonillion = 1x10 33 decillion = 1x10 36 undecillion = 1x10 39 duodecillion = 1x10 42 tredecillion = 1x10 45 quattuordecillion = 1x10 48 quindecillion = 1x10 51

  • 11. How Large Is Infinity?
    General Questions 25 • last expression, you need to divide a by a sequence bn with limit 0. But when a bn goes to zero, could go to +∞, if bn > 0, or to –∞, if bn < 0, or not exist bn a at all if bn alternates. Therefore, the expression must remain undefined. 0 Mathematicians call expressions like this “indeterminate forms.” In some cases, they can be thought of as having a certain value, while in other cases, as having another value or none at all. 11. HOW LARGE IS INFINITY? The first real opportunity where even young children can experience a “sense of wonder” in a mathematical context is when they make the basic observation that counting never ends. Typically, children are fascinated by very large numbers, and so was the 9-year-old Milton Sirotta, who became famous for inventing the name googol for the number 10100 in 1920. Later on, his uncle, the mathematician Edward Kasner (1878–1955), wrote about this in a book Mathematics and the Imagination, and still later, other imagi- native young fellows named their company Google after the number googol to indicate the large amount of data handled by Internet search engines. Although the number googol is already unimaginably large, we can eas- ily think of even larger numbers, for example, googol + 1 or 10googol (which has been called googolplex), or even the factorial of googol, or googolgoogol. The process of generating larger numbers from any given number obviously has no end. Therefore, the set of integers certainly cannot be finite. If it were, then there would be a largest number, which is impossible, because for any given number we can immediately find a bigger one just by adding 1.
