Mathematical Constants
Intriguing, ubiquitous, and at times mysterious, numerical constants set the allowable limits for all universal phenomena. Whether your questions involves π, Avogadro's number, Planck's constant, the atomic mass unit, or any of the other multitudes of immutable numbers used in science, this is the category where they should be asked.

What number is before a zillionthat starts with a v?
A "zillion" isn't a real number-name. However, you're probably thinking of a vigintillion, which is 1 followed by 63 zeroes.
What computer was the first to calculate pi and to how many digits?
Pi was calculated, and could be written to any number of places you wanted
if you were willing to spend the time at it, hundreds of years before anbody
ever imagined the idea of a computer.
It only makes sense to count, and talk about "next" and "previous" numbers, with integers - not with fractions, or irrational numbers.

No, both positive and negative numbers are part of the so-called "real" numbers. The so-called "imaginary" numbers are outside the number line.
Imagine the real numbers as a line from left to right, and the imaginary numbers a a separate line, from top to bottom. The place where they meet is zero. Positive is to the right of zero, negative to the left, imaginary numbers like +i or +3i to the top of zero, and negative imaginary numbes like -5i to the bottom of zero.
Is the mass of a single electron one mass unit?
No, it's about 1/2000th of an amu (atomic mass unit). Protons and neutrons are 1 amu.
What does avogadro's number signify?
It is the number of particles - atoms or molecules - that are present in 1 mole of the element or compound.
What number do you type after pressing ALT to get pi?
I don't know about the alt command, but another way to do it is to go to insert symbol. There will be a list of symbols. Choose the one for pi.
Can finite sets could be infinite sets?
The way I understand it, a finite set can not be an infinite set, because if it were
an infinite set, then it would not be a finite set, and the original premise would
be violated.
What number appears most often in pi?
Pi is a never ending number, so the digit that appears most often could be anything, based on how long you let the number go out to.
If you let Pi go out to 11 digits, the answer is 5.

But if you let Pi go out to 25 digits, the numbers 4, 5, and 6 are tied.

Is coupling constant is affected if experiment run at different frequencies?
Yes, the parameters of a quantum field theory, like charges and masses are dependent of the energy present in the interaction.
No. Infinity is not a number, so infinity googol is not a number.
(However, this does not mean that some arithmetical operations cannot be defined on infinities.)
What is some of the number pi?
500 digits of pi, written as 50 digits in each row: 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751

Most people round pie to the nearest Thousandth's place (3.14)
Was Erasmus more of a scholar and a wit than a satirist?
He is certainly known as and famous for first being a (witty) scholar. Being a satirist occasionally comes with the territory.
When was the number of pi invented?
The word and symbol for pi comes from the Greek alphabet and it was discovered, not invented, by ancient mathematicians who discovered that there was a ratio relationship for any circle that its circumference divided by its diameter is nearly about 22/7.
But the true value of pi still remains undiscovered because its decimal place value runs into infinity with no ending in sight.
How many digits are there between 1 and 2016 If you were to write all the numbers?
if you mean writing the number as in 1,2,3.... 2014, 2015, 2016 - there are a total of 8239 digits.
Which is the highest number out of 7 and 11. Assuming we count up 123 etc?
7 is higher than 11, but not on weekends.
