Nicolas Chuquet (; 1445, but some sources say 1455, Paris, France – 1488, some sources say 1500, Lyon, France) was a French mathematician. He invented his own notation for algebraic concepts and exponentiation. He may have been the first mathematician to recognize zero and negative numbers as exponents.
In 1475, Jehan Adam recorded the words "bymillion" and "trimillion" (for 10 and 10) and it is believed that these words or similar ones were in general use at that time
