101. Math Forum: Ask Dr. Math FAQ: Large Numbers And Infinity

     Extractions: Dr. Math FAQ Classic Problems Formulas Search Dr. Math ... Dr. Math Home There is no largest number! Why? Well, 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) can't be the largest number because 1 billion + 1 is bigger - but that is true for any number you pick. You can choose any big number and I can make a bigger one just by adding 1 to it. A googol is a 1 with a hundred zeroes behind it. We can write a googol using exponents by saying a googol is 10^100. The biggest named number that we know is googolplex, ten to the googol power, or That's written as a one followed by googol zeroes. There's some disagreement in the English language about how to name large numbers. There are two systems, the American and the English: Scientific American: Number Notation Thousand 1,000 10^3 Million 1,000,000 10^6 Billion 1,000,000,000 10^9 Trillion 1,000,000,000,000 10^12 Quadrillion 1,000,000,000,000,000 10^15 Quintillion 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 10^18 English: Thousand 1,000 10^3 Million 1,000,000 10^6 Thousand Million 1,000,000,000 10^9 Billion 1,000,000,000,000 10^12 Thousand Billion 1,000,000,000,000,000 10^15 Trillion 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 10^18

102. Mathematical Lexicon - Introduction
     To the best of my knowledge, no such file or program exist for englishmathematical words (but I will be happy to be contradicted).

     Extractions: Mathematical Lexicon Introduction Procedure Download Contributions Warning : The lexicon files offered here are made for working on the Macintosh computers, together with the spell checker Excalibur . This one in turn interfaces easily with many word processors, including Appleworks and mostly Alpha , which makes it a perfect tool for typing in TeX or LaTeX. Nonetheless, these lexicons can be adapted to other platforms (see Procedure ). A somewhat less complete french lexicon dedicated to the ispell spell checker can be found as . To the best of my knowledge, no such file or program exist for english mathematical words (but I will be happy to be contradicted). However most spell checkers already know a great many mathematical words (at least the non technical ones). Two lexicons are proposed: one for french and one for english mathematical words. The second one is shorter (1000 entries instead of 2700), mostly because english possesses less words (for obvious grammatical reasons), but also for lack of expertise of the Author. Expectedly, mistakes are more probable in the english lexicon than in the french one. Both contain usual mathematicians names (not all ;-). See Contributions if you want to signal mistakes, make additions or comments.

103. Muslim Scientists And Islamic Civilization

     Extractions: Welcome to the web page on Muslim contribution to humanity and Islamic Civilization. This page is dedicated to those Muslims whose multi-disciplinary contributions sparked the light of learning and productivity and without whom the European Renaissance would not have begun and come to maturity. Their contributions are rarely mentioned in formal education, and if at all mentioned their names are Latinized or changed with the effect of obscuring their identity and origin, and their association with the Islamic Civilization.

104. Robert Woodhouse
     It is somewhat curious that although Woodhouse attacked a fundamental belief of Englishmathematicians, no one seemed upset enough to condemn him or even argue
