Bowers has coined many colorful names for numbers that he has defined, such as dossol and trongulus. His largest number is Utter Oblivion, though his most famous number is meameamealokkapoowa oompa, formerly his largest number. Outside of large number studies, he is best known for his work with polytopes, higher dimensional analogies of polyhedra. He reportedly began his search for uniform polychora (4-dimensional polytopes) in the 1990s, independently discovering many of the currently known uniform polychora and coining names for them. Like Chris Bird, he has a Master's degree in mathematics.
