每日一问:2^64是多大的一个数?
每日书摘:
PART I. PLAYING WITH NUMBERS
I. Big Numbers
- the Grand Vizier Sissa Ben Dahir vs King Shirham of India
- A skilled mathematician
- invents and presents to the king the game of chess
- asks his rewards
[1]"""
The desires of the clever vizier seemed very modest. "Majesty," he said kneeling in front of the king, "give me a grain of wheat to put on the first square of this chessboard, and two grains to put on the second square, and four grains to put on the third, and eight grains to put on the fourth. And so, oh King, doubling the number for each succeeding square, give me enough grains to cover all 64 squares of the board." [1]
