Permutation of Letters EMMA is investigating the amount of different arrangements of letters in her name; she does the same with her friend LUCY. LUCY has twice as many arrangements as EMMA, they are curious as to why this is and decide to investigate other names and find reasons for their answers.

For this exploration, I have decided to focus my research on a subject I find quite interesting and intriguing, and that topic is Graham’s number. The reason I find this topic to be so fascinating is because it’s a very large number. Quite literally. Its size is less than infinity, but the number itself is so large, that if a person tried to imagine it in his/her head, their head would collapse on itself and form a black hole. This is actually not a hyperbole, it’s a fact. It is hard to believe,
1. If I were to design Ben & Jerry’s data warehouse I would use several dimensions of information. The first dimension would consist of the company’s products; ice cream, frozen yogurt or merchandise. The marketing department has to know which products are selling, if Ben & Jerry’s didn’t know that their T-shirts are selling out as soon as they hit the stores, then they wouldn’t be able to take advantage of the opportunity to sell the shirts. The second dimension would consist of the different
The work that I do is a product of my own history; it often revolves around the question of belongingness and home. Throughout my life I have lived in 16 homes, 10 cities/villages, 4 countries and 3 continents. The constant change, the constant need to adapt to new surroundings, new cultures made me question the notion of home and how that affects our identities. To explore this questions I make collages, I cut and paste, much like what I had to do every time I moved. In my work “My Galaxy” (2010)
played a key role in making Google what it is today. In 1997 the name Google.com domain was purchased. “…domain name was derived from the term "googol," the very large number written as a one followed by 100 zeros, an expression of the vast universe of data the Google search engine was designed to explore.” (achievement.org). this quote explains what googol means and w...
Moore’s Proposed Proof for an External World In his “Proof of an External World”, Moore puts forth several supported hypotheses in regards to the nature of the existence of things outside the self. Primarily, Moore discusses hands; his argument is that if he can produce two hands then it follows logically that two hands must exist. Furthermore, Moore puts forth the theory that if hands exist then this alone is proof of an external world. In opposition to Moore’s opinions will be found three
Page and Brin at the time did not know how to spell googol and had the misspelling of “Google”. They ran quickly to see if the URL was available and it was. They registered their site as google.com. The next day Anderson sees “Google” written on the white board and writes, “It’s supposed to be g-o-o-g-o-l
space (amount of data that is carried from one point to another). Therefore, Page and Brin decided to come up with a solution by creating a new search engine. In 1997, “Google.com” was registered and the name originated from the word “googol”. The word “googol” is mathematical terminology that represented the number one followed by 100 zeroes. Page and Brin planned on organizing unlimited amounts of information on the internet (Google, 2014). In the fall of 1998, Google filed incorporation in
speech about Google //what is the history of Google, /what makes it special, //and lessons to learn from the experience of Google’s founders. First of all, where does the word “Google” come from? The name "Google" originated from a misspelling of "googol,” which refers to 10100, the number represented by a 1 followed by one hundred zeros. It found its way to the English language, now the verb "Google", was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2006, meaning, "to use the Google search engine to
Introduction to Apache Hadoop Nowadays, people are living in the data world. It’s not easy to measure the total volume of data stored electronically, but an IDC estimate put the size of the “digital universe” at 0.18 zettabytes in 2006, and is forecasting a tenfold growth by 2011 to 1.8 zettabytes. A zettabyte is 〖10〗^21 bytes, or equivalently one thousand exabytes, one million petabytes, or one billion terabytes. That’s roughly the same order of magnitude as one disk drive for every person in the
decided to make a search engine. Their initial blue print was for a small engine called BackRub. Their searches, results, and name did not go far. They started over and came up with a search engine that can come with an infinite number of results, a googol number of results, and Google was created. At first Google was used at Stanford and soon set wild into America. Later Google exploded to every computer in the U.S. When People wanted to find something quick, you looked on Google. Access to anything
so, as Pierce states, we think of it like, "traveling on and on, trying hard to get there but that is not actually infinity." It gives you a headache when you think of it like this, so think more boundless or endless. Even large numbers, such as googol (10 to the 100 power) and googolplex (10 to the 10 to the 100 power), are finite. They're not even close to infinity. However, like finite numbers, infinity is also not growing, it's as big as it is going to get. That is a hard statement to wrap your
Googol and his conflict and the symbolism in the book, represented by his names, all contribute to this central
calendar and many more. The founder of the google is Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who met at Stanford in 1995 and started collaborating on a serve engine called BackRub in 1996 which later registered as Google.com in 1997. Google was named from the word googol, a mathematical term for the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros and with a mission to organize the infinite amount of information on the web. On March, 2001 Eric Schmidt was named as a chairman of the board of directors and
Google is known as being the world’s best company for pioneering the search engine revolution and providing internet users around the world the ability to search and find information with the click of a mouse. Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Brin and Page met in 1995 during a tour for students who were accepted into a PhD program at Stanford University (Rothaermel, 2015). The two found each other to be very obnoxious but spent a lot of time talking to each other and became inseparable
registered as a domain on September 15th, 1997 and became incorporated on September 4th, 1998. Larry Page was actually a University of Michigan grad that was considering Stanford, and Sergey was his assigned tour guide. Google comes from the word “googol” which is a mathematical term for the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. This was the name used to show Larry and Sergey’s mission to organize an infinite amount of information on the web. Google was based in Susan Wojcicki’s
work on a search engine, also known as BackRub. BackRub ran on the Stanford servers for a little over a year eventually resulting in taking up to much bandwidth. Google.com finallly came up in 1997 on September th 15th. The name was a play on words ““googol”, a mathematical term for the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zero... ... middle of paper ... ...ocial media, Todd posted her first cry for help.

search engine. The objective was to better organize and huge amount of data on the Internet. Eventually the name was changed to "Google" to signify the immense amount of information that resided on the Internet. Google is transformed from the word googol, referring to 1 followed by 100 zeros. Brin and Page incorporated Google in 1998, just nine years ago, with $1 million dollars from family and investors. The quality of Google's search technology attracted a growing amount of users. Many companies
