Within a set positive numbers, a number is small if it is close to zero. A number is smaller if it is less than another number.
Within a set of positive and negative numbers there is ambiguity, because being closer to zero does not correspond to being less, but to being less in absolute value. Depending on context a negative number may be called "smaller" if it is closer to zero, or if it is more negative.
This article deals with positive numbers, and is also applicable to negative numbers by taking the absolute value.
Small numbers are numbers that are small compared with the numbers used in everyday life. Very small numbers often occur in fields such as chemistry, electronics and quantum physics.
As soon as systems of weights and measures were devised, units were subdivided into smaller units: pounds were divided into ounces, pounds into shillings and pence. Beyond the smallest units, there was a need to use vulgar fractions to represent even smaller quantities. In systems such as the degrees-minutes-seconds system, it is possible to represent one second of arc, equal to

Gaby González and her team at LIGO have proven that when you search for the small numbers you can make massive discoveries - like proving Einstein’s theory of gravitational waves, which are smaller than even the smallest piece of an atom. In this talk, Gaby takes us through the process of g-wave discovery and introduces us to another small number we should be looking at if we want to continue scientific innovation: the small number of women working in physics If Albert Einstein were alive today, he’d probably be booking a trip to Louisiana. That’s because LSU professor, international award-winner and National Academy of Sciences member Dr. Gaby González is helping unravel one of the longest-running mysteries in astronomy. A native of Argentina and a graduate of Syracuse University, Gaby h...
We don't get how statistics or randomness work and we treat conclusions from small samples with too much confidence. That is the Law of Small Numbers.
