¿Dirías que cien es un número grande? ¿Y mil? ¿Y un millón? Estos números pueden parecer enormes… hasta que descubres el googol. Pero, ¡hagas lo que hagas, no intentes contar hasta un googol! En este libro sobre los grandes números descubrirás por qué, aprenderás los nombres de otras cifras gigantescas y para qué las utiliza la gente. A finales de los años treinta, el matemático americano Edward Kasner escribió un número con cien ceros y pidió a su sobrino Milton, de nueve años, que lo bautizara. Milton lo llamó googol. ¿Y cómo de grande es un googol?

English Translation

Can You Count to a Googol?

Is one hundred a big number? What about a thousand, or even a million? Those numbers seem huge—until you meet the googol! But whatever you do, don't try counting to a googol; this lively look at big numbers explains why. Along the way, readers learn the names of other enormous numbers and how people use them. In the late 1930s, American mathematician Edward Kasner wrote a one followed by a hundred zeros and asked his nine-year-old nephew, Milton, to name it. Milton called it a googol—and a famous number was born.
