The number you provided is called a "googol." A googol is equal to 10 to the power of 100, or 1 followed by 100 zeros. It was coined by mathematician Edward Kasner in 1938. The term "googol" and its larger counterpart, "googolplex," are often used to illustrate the concept of extremely large numbers.
There are a few mathematical triangles, the two that immediately spring to mind are Pascal's Triangle, named after Blaise Pascal, and the Sierpiński Triangle, named after Polish mathematician Wacław Sierpiński.
Pythagoras. He has the Pythagorean Theorem named after him.
It was invented by a mathematician named Pascal.

Milton sirotta coined the term googol!
Yes. It's spelled googleplex and represents 10 to the 100th power. Wrong. The word is googolplex. A googol is ten to the hundredth power. A googolplex is ten to the googol power. This is meant to be mathematician's humor. Actually, the search engine google is named after this term.

No, but a googol (after which the search engine Google was named as a pun) does - a googol is 10100 which is a one followed by 100 zeros.

it is a mathematician and a satellite named after him
Oh, dude, that's a big number! Like, that's like... a lot of 9s. Technically, if you add all those 9s up, you'd get like... a really huge number. But, like, who's got time for that, am I right?
Not sure of the exact date or even year but it was in the 1940s.
Yes.
== == Our beloved Google got it's name from Googol, which is a math term. A googol is the large number 10100, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeroes. The term was coined in 1938 by nine-year-old Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner. Kasner announced the concept in his book Mathematics and the Imagination. The Internet search engine, Google, was named as a play on the number googol. source:http://www.dna88.com/forum/forum-article324.html
