		Chuquet was, however, the original author of the first published use of a systematic, extended series of names ending in -illion or -yllion.
		Chuquet, however, refers to these names only in passing, and, oddly enough, in one place he uses them to mean powers of a million, and in another he uses them in the "American style":
		Chuquet's work had little direct influence because his work was not published until the 1870s, but most of it was copied (without attribution) by Estienne de la Roche for a portion of his 1520 book, Larismetique.

		Chuquet is sometimes credited with "inventing" the names million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, and so forth.
		One obvious possibility is that words similar to "billion" and "trillion" were already in use and well-known, but that Chuquet, an expert in exponentiation, did extend the naming scheme and invent the names for the higher powers.

	Nicolas Chuquet Biography / Biography of Nicolas Chuquet History of Scientific Discovery Biography
		Chuquet's accomplishments are known mainly from a book published in 1520 by a fellow Frenchman, Etienne de la Roche, who also went by the name Villefranche.
		Chuquet was born in Paris, France, where he pursued many studies, concentrating specifically in the field of medicine.
		Chuquet was not as progressive in his treatment of negative numbers, referring to them as "absurd numbers." However, Chuquet's many other improvements of algebraic methods helped influence future mathematicians, particularly Italian Luca Pacioli (1445?-1514?), who published a work on bookkeeping by double entry entitled Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proportionalita in 1494.

	Nicolas Chuquet History Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Chuquet was born in Paris in 1445, and from about 1480 worked in Lyon as a medical doctor and copyist or master of writing.
		Finally, Chuquet was able to provide the solution to a problem that in modern terms would be written as 4x = -2, perhaps the first notable use of a negative number in an algebraic equation.
		Chuquet even came close to the idea of an imaginary number—e.g., the square root of a negative integer—but failed to recognize how this could be of practical value.

		Third, neither Adam nor Chuquet claimed authorship, and apparently the context of their references to the names suggests they were in use earlier.

		Chuquet theorized that given two ratios, a/b and c/d, the ratio (a+c)/(b+d) would fall between the two original ratios.
		Chuquet realized that square roots that are not integers are irrational, and he acknowledged that his method would never allow him to find a square root exactly.
		In the second part, Chuquet applies his fraction rule to the calculation of square roots of numbers which are not perfect squares.
