		A number so large, whether right or wrong cannot he despised; a body so great, whether good or evil, will, by its sheer inherent force, persist in living, moving, and having, a fair share of being.
		There is nothing very metaphysical in his subjects; sometimes he wanders slightly into space; occasionally he exhausts himself in fighting out the mysteries of faith, and grace, and justification; but in the ordinary run of his talk you can get good pictures of practical matters.
		He is a lover of nature, is fond of talking about the sublime and the beautiful, conjointly with other things freely named in Burke's essay, can pile up the agony with a good deal of ability, and split the e a rs of the groundlings as the occasion requires.

	Number Types (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		All prime numbers fall into one of two types; those which equal (4n + 1) and those which equal (4n - 1), where 'n' is a whole number.
		When the sum of a number's divisors is smaller than the number itself, this is called a defective number.
		Friendly, or amicable, numbers are pairs of numbers where each is the sum of the divisors of the other.

		Therefore, a subsequence of a sequence of random numbers is not necessarily random.
		Given a sequence of numbers created by N trials of a chance experiment, we attempt to work our way backwards and estimate what the defining properties of the chance experiment are.
		The first random number is used to pick an element from the array of random numbers, and the second random number is used to replace the number chosen.

	Almost perfect number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, an almost perfect number (sometimes also called slightly defective number) is a natural number n such that the sum of all divisors of n (the divisor function σ(n)) is equal to 2n - 1.
		The only almost perfect numbers known are those of the form 2
		for some natural number k; however, it has not been shown yet that all almost perfect numbers are of this form.

		The third perfect number is 496, the fourth is 8,128, the fifth is 33,550,336, and the sixth is 8,589,869,056.
		Understanding the apparent lack of slightly excessive numbers was of no practical value whatsoever; nonetheless it was a problem that might illuminate the nature of numbers and therefore it was worthy of study.
		Pythagoras realized that numbers were hidden in everything, from the harmonies of music to the orbits of planets, and this led him to proclaim that "Everything Is Number." By exploring the meaning of mathematics, Pythagoras was developing the language that would enable him and others to describe the nature of the universe.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christopher Columbus
		The Caribs he purposed to convert eventually, but for the time being they must be considered as enemies, and according to the customs of the age, their captors had the right to reduce them to slavery.
		It is certain that the condition of the Indians became much worse thereafter, that they were forced into unaccustomed labours, and that their numbers began to diminish rapidly.
		But the fact that Columbus had proposed the enslaving of American natives and actually sent a number of them over to Spain had alienated the sympathy of the queen to a certain degree, and thus weakened his position at court.

		A number of stamps were issued imperforate at the request of bulk mailers, companies that did large mailings back in the 1910s and 20s.
		A number of imperforate, double-line watermarked sheets were found and turned in for destruction by the New York postal authorities a dozen years after they were issued.
		This results in a perforation hole that is pushed down slightly on one side where the pin enters the paper, and raised slightly on the opposite side of the hole as the same pin leaves.

		When defective proteins are dismantled, the system recycles the components and reutilizes them within the body.
		Sometimes, however, a functional protein with a minor defect is rejected, resulting in more damage to the body than if the cell had just the slightly defective protein move through the system.
		When the blueprint for a given protein is defective -- as it is in inherited diseases such as cystic fibrosis, some liver diseases and blood-clotting disorders -- the protein is destroyed, leaving no agent to perform necessary functions.

	Computer Generated Random Numbers
		COMPUTER GENERATED RANDOM NUMBERS by David W. Deley c1991 SYNOPSIS This paper presents a number of techniques for analyzing a computer generated sequence of random numbers.
		The algorithm RANDU uses togenerate successive random numbers is: SEED = (65539SEED) MOD 231 X = SEED/231 This is a linear congruential generator with: A = 65539 C = 0 M = 231 Note first that the modulus M for RANDU is 231 whereas the modulus M for MTH$RANDOM is 2*32.
		Then replace the number chosen in the array with a new random number fromthe random number generator.
