Large Numbers

Number is an infinite set. It has no end. As soon as one start schooling, one start counting. From early child care to university the counting continues. You will notice the small kid at early child care (ECCDE) very happy and eager to show up his or her skill of counting probably up to 20.
I was happy when I counted up to 100, until I heard latter there is a thousand.
A former Senate president of Nigeria during the first republic was accused of stealing 'millions'. See his response-'Million! If I see a million, I will die'.
To him a million is a  very big number.
Let's leave that this blog is not for political discussion.
