Crate googology

Googology

Googlogy is the study and nomenclature of large numbers. This crate is focused on the latter component of that description, and provides utilities for converting numbers of arbitrarily large size to some English-language description.

Currently, this crate only supports the Conway-Wechsler system for naming numbers, however other systems may be added in the future.

Modules

conway_wechsler

Methods for the Conway-Wechsler large number naming system. A proper description of how this system works can be found on this website.

knuth_yllion

Methods for the Knuth -yllion large number naming system. This is a myriad number system based on Donald Knuth’s essay, “Supernatural Numbers”, which was published in the 1981 book, “The Mathematical Gardner”. The basic concept behind this system is that each new “yllion” is the square of the last (i.e. where one myllion is equal to 10^8, one byllion is 10^16 instead of 10^12 if we were multipling by constant factors like in an -illion system).
