    <p>You can use the symbolic toolbox to compute with big integers.</p> <p>Here is some code I whipped up to plot the Tupper expression, inspired in part by <a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/56216/How-does-Tupper-turn-a-number-into-a-map" rel="noreferrer">this discussion over at metafilter</a>:</p> <pre><code>% use the symbolic toolbox to represent the big integer k k = sym(['960939379918958884971672962127852754715004339660129306651505519271702802395266424689642842174350' ...

    1. COYou nailed it ! .... I would have struggled coming up with this elegance ... however, I like your observation - not a 'true QUINE' - on that, if a mathematical formulae leads to a 'true QUINE' we may have to redefine our entire mathematical philosophy ...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
