Graham’s number‚ named after Ronald Graham‚ is a large number that is an upper bound on the solution to a certain problem in Ramsey theory. The number gained a degree of popular attention when Martin Gardner described it in the "Mathematical Games" section of Scientific American in November 1977‚ writing that‚ "In an unpublished proof‚ Graham has recently established ... a bound so vast that it holds the record for the largest number ever used in a serious mathematical proof."

Oxidation Number When elements combine to produce a compound‚ each element is assigned an “apparent” charge. This apparent charge‚ the charge an atom would have if both electrons in each bond were assigned to the more electronegative element‚ may be positive or negative. It is called the oxidation number or state of the element in the compound. Oxidation numbers are very useful in keeping track of what happens to electrons when various elements combine to form compounds. By remembering a few

In biology‚ term- mutation has been described as changes to the base pair sequence of the genetic material of an organism. Mutations can be caused by: copying errors in the genetic material during cell division‚ by exposure to ultraviolet or ionizing radiation‚ chemical mutagens‚ or viruses‚ or can occur deliberately under cellular control during processes such as hypermutation. In multicellular organisms‚ mutations can be subdivided into germ line mutations‚ which can be passed on to descendants
