Are you good in math back when you were a student at school? This posting is not really about math, well, it is but this doesn't require you to do counting and stuff. Just want to let you know that each number has its own meaning and definition when it comes to mathematics. Just when we thought that those are only numbers, actually there are more than just numbers. See what's behind every number. Each has its own story and definition. Starts form 0 to 9999. Wow, can you imagine how clever the one who invented this numerical list?
