He is also the inventor of the [http://members.aol.com/hedrondude/array.html Array Notation] as a means to represent very large numbers. This notion is very similar to the [[Conway chained arrow notation]] and relies on the [[tetration]] operator <math>{\ ^{b}a = \atop {\ }} {{\underbrace{a^{a^{\cdot^{\cdot^{a}}}}}} \atop b}</math>, and its higher order analogues: pentation, sexation, heptation. some examples of which are
 
* <math>\{a,b,1\} = a \{1\} b = a+b\;</math>

Still larger numbers require an extended array notation and include the Emperal Group, Hyperal Group, Dutritri and Dutridecal. The largest number mentioned is the Guapamongaplex which is still considerably less than infinity.

Jonathan Bowers, mathematician (November 27, 1969–)

Polychora[edit]

One of the participants in the Uniform Polychora Project, an attempt to name higher-dimensional polychora. He independently began his search for polychora in 1990. Circa 1993, he invented his short names for the uniform polychora, which have come to be known as the Bowers style acronyms (or pet name). In 1997, he contacted others who are also interested in the subject, such as Magnus Wenninger, Vincent Matsko, and George Olshevsky.

Very large numbers[edit]

Bowers has proposed a series of names (including giggol, gaggol, geegol, goggol, tridecal, tetratri, dutritri, xappol, dimendecal, gongulus, trimentri, goppatoth, golapulus, golapulusplex, golapulusplux, big boowa and guapamonga) for extremely Large numbers, which he terms infinity scrapers (a pun on skyscraper), many of which are so unspeakably and unprecedentedly large as to require special newly-devised extended mathematical notations in order to be expressed.infinity scrapers

He is also the inventor of the Array Notation as a means to represent very large numbers. This notion is very similar to the Conway chained arrow notation and relies on the tetration operator <math>{\ ^{b}a = \atop {\ }} {{\underbrace{a^{a^{\cdot^{\cdot^{a}}}}}} \atop b}</math>, and its higher order analogues: pentation, sexation, heptation. some examples of which are

  • <math>\{a,b,1\} = a \{1\} b = a+b\;</math>
  • <math>\{a,b,2\} = a \{2\} b = a*b\;</math>
  • <math>\{a,b,3\} = a \{3\} b = a^b\;</math>
  • <math>\{a,b,4\} = a \{4\} b = \ ^{b}a</math> a tetrated to b.
  • <math>\{a,b,5\} = a \{5\} b = \ ^{\ ^{\ ^{\ ^a\cdot}\cdot}a}a</math> - a pentated to b - a tetrated to itself b times.
  • <math>\{a,b,c,2\} = a \{\{c\}\}b\;</math>
  • <math>\{a,2,1,2\} = a \{\{1\}\}2 = a \{a\}a\;</math>
  • <math>\{a,3,1,2\} = a \{\{1\}\}3 = a \{a \{a\}a\}a\;</math>
  • <math>\{a,b,1,2\} = a \{\{1\}\}b = a \{a\ldots\{a\}\ldots a\}a\;</math> - a expanded to b.
  • <math>\{a,b,2,2\} = a \{\{2\}\}b\;</math> - a expanded to itself b times.

Bowers notation extends beyond even these numbers and includes the Corporal {10,100,1,2}, Grand Tridecal {10,10,10,2}, Tetratri = {3,3,3,3}, General = {10,10,10,10}, Pentadecal = {10,10,10,10,10}, Iteral = {10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10}. Still larger numbers require an extended array notation and include the Emperal Group, Hyperal Group, Dutritri and Dutridecal. The largest number mentioned is the Guapamongaplex which is still considerably less than infinity, but is much larger than even Graham's number.

Illion group[edit]

Jonathan Bowers has also created a number of names for large numbers that extend the -illion family of much smaller numbers than those mentioned above. Here is a list of the names of large -illion numbers on the short scale.

Googol, giggol and gaggol groups[edit]

Jonathan Bowers defines the googol, giggol, and gaggol groups as being lower than the infinity scrapers. Here's a list of the names of numbers in these groups:

Name Value

Megaston ...
Tripent {5,5,5} = 5 {5} 5 = 5 {4} 5 {4} 5 {4} 5 {4} 5
Trisept {7,7,7} = 7 {7} 7 (7 heptated to 7)
Geegol {10,100,6}=10 {6} 100

Gygol {10,100,7}

Goggol {10,100,8}
Goggolplex {10,goggol,8}
Gagol {10,100,9}
Gagolplex {10,gagol,9}

Infinity scrapers[edit]

Numbers higher than those in the Gaggol group are referred to by Jonathan Bowers as the infinity scrapers. Here's a list of the names of those numbers that are infinity scrapers:

Name Value
Tridecal {10,10,10} = 10 {10} 10 = 10 decated to 10
Boogol {10,10,100} = 10 {100} 10
Boogolplex {10,10,boogol}
Moser's number ...
Graham's number ...
Corporal {10,100,1,2}
Corporalplex {10,corporal,1,2}
Grand Tridecal {10,10,10,2}
Tetratri {3,3,3,3}
General {10,10,10,10}
Generalplex {10,10,10,general}
Pentatri {3,3,3,3,3}
Pentadecal {10,10,10,10,10}
Pentadecalplex {10,10,10,10,pentadecal}
Hexatri {3,3,3,3,3,3}
Hexadecal {10,10,10,10,10,10}
Hexadecalplex {10,10,10,10,10,hexadecal}
Iteral {10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10}
Ultatri {3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3}
Iteralplex {10,10,10,10,10,10,...........,10,10,10}

The following numbers requre an extended array notation to define. These are defined recursively, using rules such as:

<math>\left\langle\begin{matrix}a&b\\2&\end{matrix}\right\rangle=\{a,a,\ldots,a\}</math> with a repeated b times.
<math>\left\langle\begin{matrix}a&b\\k&\end{matrix}\right\rangle=\left\langle\begin{matrix}a&a&\ldots&a\\k-1\end{matrix}\right\rangle</math> with a repeated b times.
Name Value
Emperal <math>\left\langle\begin{matrix}10&10\\10&\end{matrix}\right\rangle</math>
