'''''Omega. Eine Reise in das Reich unendlich großer Zahlen''''' ("Omega: A Journey into the Realm of Infinitely Large Numbers") is a 2008 German-language book by [[Peter Ripota]], published by Books on Demand.

==Overview==

In words and diagrams, Ripota takes the reader on a journey from the smallest infinite number (omega, ω) to the largest (OMEGA), exploring the mathematics of the infinite. Along the way he raises playful and philosophical questions — for example, whether God is really infinite, whether some numbers are "uninteresting," and whether there is such a thing as a "Jewish mathematics" — using the theme of infinity to survey ideas in set theory and the foundations of mathematics.
