From Zero to Hero
What's the most powerful number in the universe? One billion? One trillion? One googol? It's zero! There's nothing to it! It's not magic... it's math! The Educational Gist: This episode is about the enormity and quantity of large numbers. The role of zero as a placeholder for large numbers such as one million, one billion and one trillion is presented, and the notion of place value and powers of ten are introduced through the act of bead counting.
