1 Big Numbers What is the largest number you can think of?
... Numbers like these are ridiculously large, in any real sense. But in mathematics we don’t let reality put limits on our imagination. No matter how far we go there are more numbers, incredibly larger than any number thought of earlier. Nevertheless, all of these numbers are ordinary whole numbers. Th ...
