That's Benjamin Graham. (since there's another reply, the parent article points to the wrong Graham).


Graham's Number, as in 3 ↑↑ 3, is named after Ron Graham.

3 ↑↑↑↑ 3 = g1, Graham's Number is g64. See the article for details.

I find it stupidly fascinating how notation compressed a quantity so large in so few.
