Edward Kasner - Definition and Overview

Edward Kasner (1878 - 1955) was an American mathematician.

In the late 1930s, he was once asked to come up with a name for a very large number. He outsourced this task to his nine-year-old nephew, Milton Sirotta, who in turn coined the word "googol." A googol is 10 raised to the 100th power (i.e., a 1 followed by a hundred zeros.)
