André Joyce is a possibly fictional[1], Franco-American writer and pataphysicist serving as a pseudonym for Michael Joseph Halm. He coined the words "googology" and "googologist", and some names of large numbers.[2][3] His name is a pun on "and rejoice," a phrase appearing various times in the Christian Bible.
