Small Number is a fictional character created by Veselin Jungi? and Mark MacLean, and first appeared in the story ¡°Small Number Counts to 100¡± in 2010.
The initial image of Small Number was created by Mr. Simon Roy under Veselin Jungi?'s directions.
The image on the Math Catcher Program logo was created by Ms. Bethani L'Heuruex of the Cree First Nation. The image was inspired by an edge-colouring of the complete graph on 14 vertices by 23 colours that avoids both monochromatic and rainbow complete subgraphs on four vertices. The colouring was constructed by Veselin Jungi?, Tom¨¢s Kaiser, and Daniel Kr¨¢l' in , The Electronic Journal Of Combinatorics 16 (2009), \(\#\)N19.
