Where does the name Meru come from?
Meru Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt educational foundation established in 1983 to support the ongoing research begun by Stan Tenen, Meru’s research director. The root-word “Meru” refers to the name of the Hebrew alphabet, Meruba; “Mt. Meru”, the cosmic mountain that supports the world in the eastern traditions; Merudanda, the spinal column; Moriah, the temple mount in Jerusalem; and Su-Meru, an ancient name for the Pascal triangle (which is of fundamental importance in mathematics).
