User blog:Edwin Shade/A Beginning

Hello everybody, I am new to this site and do not know much about Googology, except for the most basic matters, (for example, the fast-growing hierchy, a vague concept of what veblen functions are, (and of course Graham's number)), and I would like to learn more about the largest number on this Wiki, Sasquatch.

Now, I know asking for a complete description of this number so that I, being a beginner, can understand it, may be too much. So instead I am asking what pre-requisite subjects I will need to learn in order to understand everything in the link I have provided in the above paragraph. Once I know this perhaps I can create a larger number than Sasquatch, but that isn't a trivial extension or a salad number.

Feel free to leave as many comments as you wish if you think of additional things for me to learn.
