(Googol number of Zeros)Īnd there are even larger numbers that need to use "Power Towers" to write them down.įor example, a Googolplex can be written as this power tower: Even a short line segment has infinite points. Since the asynchronous leapfrog method is a reversible integration method, we should be able to go along each finite discrete trajectory back to its initial point.

equals 1).Īn infinite series of "A"s followed by a "B" will NEVER have a "B". Of course, the approximated values grow dramatically and will soon transcend what can be represented even with Mathematica's arbitrary-precision numbers. You cannot say "but what happens if it ends in an 8?", because it simply does not end. a decimal number with an infinite series of 9s), there is no end to the number of 9s. So, when we see a number like "0.999." (i.e. There's no reason why the 3s should ever stop: they repeat infinitely. Weierstrass (1876) used the symbol to represent an actual infinite quantity. Subsequently many mathematicians started to use this or similar symbols. Wallis (1655) introduced the sign to signify infinite numbers. OK, 1/ 3 is a finite number (it is not infinite).īut written as a decimal number the digit 3 repeats forever (we say "0.3 repeating"): The most famous infinity quote might be the aforementioned To Infinity and beyond said by Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story. The modern mathematical symbol arose with the development of calculus. The sequence of natural numbers never ends, and is infinite. So a Line is actually simpler then a Ray or Line Segment. When there is one end it is called a Ray, and when there are two ends it is called a Line Segment, but they need extra information to define where the ends are. Example: in Geometry a Line has infinite length.Ī Line goes in both directions without end.
