Larry Page and Sergey Brin

The world has seen some of its brightest and greatest. But Larry Page and Larry Brin's achievements keep on giving to the world in such immeasurable ways.

Larry Page

The education of Larry Page

Larry Page is the current Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Google. Born  March 26, 1973, Larry Page has become one of the most acclaimed internet entrepreneurs the world has ever known.

Yearning to become a computer scientist, Larry enrolled in computer science PhD. program at Stanford University in California. He was determined to search for and analyse the mathematical properties of the World Wide Web. Lary Page continued his search by focusing on finding out which web pages link to a given page. His findings also triggered the interest in the role of citations in academic publishing.

Larry Page is also the inventor of PageRank, Google's most famous ranking formula. By the end of 2014, Larry Page presided over a worldwide organisation of 55,600 employees with establishments in more than 40 countries. As a co-founder of his organisation, he had worked in Google’s key operations since its formation in September 1998.

Sergey Brin

Sergey Brin

Sergey Brin is known to have a natural talent and a love for mathematics. He is a co-founder and currently the President of the Technology of the Google establishment.

In 1995, he met Larry Page at Stanford University, where he co-authored an experimental research project. The project will later develop and become one of the most revered projects for posterity – now Google.

Brin primarily focused his research on data mining systems as it pertains to search engine development. At the same time, Page extended the idea of determining the importance of a research paper from its citations into other academic papers.  Later in 1996, Page and Brin will set up the initial version of Google, which is still present on the university’s website.

Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin built a search engine (initially called BackRub) that used links to determine individual webpages' importance. Brin, a notable internet entrepreneur, is credited for most hi-tech innovations at Google.

The visionaries

The two visionaries, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, have been able to supercharge innovation ideas that will stand the test of time. One smart business decision their company made was the acquisition of Android Inc. on August 17, 2005. A company they had earlier supported in its formation.

Google then marketed the android operating system to a significant number of mobile phone carriers and manufacturers.

Today, the android platform is at its pivotal edge – transforming innovation with precision. Many individuals, corporate entities, and entrepreneurs rely on android applications for work and pleasure. Android is the world's most popular mobile platform. With many applications created daily.
