(2009.08.11 12:31 TUESDAY) :
I just updated my website "Sbiis Saibian's Large Number Site" and
added a whole new chapter.
It's the 2nd chapter of Section II, titled "The tools of Science". It
provides a small introduction into the use and understanding of
scientific notation, and it includes several articles on the SI
prefixes including, their origin and history, their current usage,
various hoaxes and proposals for extension, and lastly a few proposed
extensions of my own.
If your interested in large numbers, check it out. This is a one-stop
place for all sorts of information about it. You can go directly to
the homepage at ...

Or if your interested, you can jump directly to the new chapter
at ...

Post comments if your interested.
Sincerely,
