👉 In mathematics, a hypopodial number is a real number that is smaller than its reciprocal. The concept of a hypopodial number was introduced by the German mathematician Karl Weierstrass in his work "Über die Darstellung der reellen Zahlen durch Reihen" (On the Representation of Real Numbers as Permutations). However, this term has been used in various contexts and can have different meanings depending on the context.
