Numbers, Part 8: Exponentiation Within Limit Functions
Wednesday, June 16, 2010The very long series on making large numbers, a once nearly half-year extensively nerdy obsession of mine continues in this not-so-long-awaited post! Here, we expand the previously defined limit functions to another extreme.
Understanding the Birthday Paradox
Monday, May 24, 2010“In a room of 23 people, the chance that there are two people who share the same birthday is 50%. In a room of 75, that chance of overlapping birthdays increases to 99.9%!” How is this possible? The birthday paradox, that’s how! Check it out!
Numbers, Part 7: Larger Limit Functions
Friday, April 2, 2010In this part of my series on making extensively large numbers, I take the limit functions of Part 6 and then match them, and actually exceed the Extended Conway Chained Notation. If you want to generate big numbers too, check it out!
Numbers, Part 6: Limit Functions
Wednesday, March 31, 2010After nearly a two month break, my series on making very large numbers is back. This time we have an entirely different approach that doesn’t make numbers nearly as large yet, but it will soon…
Numbers, Part 5: Extending Conway’s Chains
Friday, February 5, 2010The numbers saga keeps on chugging until I’m happy that the numbers on this site are sufficiently large. In Part 5, I decide that the Conway Chained-Arrow Notation is just not large enough and needs to be expanded further! Let’s check it out.
