Sean Anderson, a Stanford student, brought the Google search engine and Google's name to Larry Page, the founder of Google. At that time, Anderson and Page were sitting in the office, trying to come up with a good name, a name that might be related to the massive data index. Anderson mentioned the word "googol", which refers to the power of 10/00. It is written in the form of the number 1 followed by 100 zeros, which can be used to represent a large number of resources available on the Internet. At that time, Anderson was sitting in front of the computer. He searched the Internet domain name registration database to see if the name of this new invention had been registered and used. Anderson made a spelling mistake. He entered the word "Google". Com ",he found that this domain name can be used. Gugor was invented by Milton Silota, the nine-year-old nephew of American mathematician Edward Casner, and was later quoted by mathematicians Edward Casner and James Newman in Mathematics and Imagination.
