In 1940 Newman wrote (with Edward Kasner) Mathematics and the Imagination in which he identified the mathematical concept of a very large but finite number, which he called "googol" and another large number called "googolplex"—this was the first time this number, and this term, was ever identified.
It has been postulated that the name of the number Googol, coined by the 9 year old nephew of Edward Kasner of Jewish origin, originates with the thick texture of Gogle Mogle.
