footnotes =Geneviève Guitel is a French mathematician. She is well-known for her introduction of the terms "échelle courte" and "échelle longue" ("short scale" and "long scale" respectively) to refer to the main numbering systems used around the world. She was active mathematically over at least the period 1943-1979. [http://www.centre-charles-moraze.msh-paris.fr/IMG/pdf/moz17-4.pdf pp 474-475]
Her publications include "Histoire comparée des numérations écrites", where on p. 51-52 and in the chapter "Les grands nombres en numération parlée", p. 566-574, (English: The large numbers in oral numeration), she made the first recorded use of the terms "échelle courte" and "échelle longue."
