Just a Passing Look over & into “Google”

Google : the word Google is derived from GOOGOL.

Googol is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros.
The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, “Mathematics and the Imagination” by Kasner and James Newman.

Google’s play on the term reflects the company’s mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web.”
Goooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,
oooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,ooooooooooGle
is indeed derived from Googol
10000000000,0000000000,0000000000,0000000000,0000000000,
0000000000,0000000000,0000000000,0000000000,0000000000.
Of course, that is 100 zeros!
