The founder of Google - Brin Sergey Mikhailovich - was born in Moscow on the twenty-first of August 1973. His father, Mikhail Izrailevich, worked at the Moscow Institute of Mathematical Economics, and his mother, Evgenia Brin, served as an engineer in one of the capital's research institutes. Due to anti-Semitic attitudes that flourished in the scientific community of the former USSR, the family was forced to emigrate to the United States. There, Brin's father began working at the University of Maryland, and his mother at NASA.
The future founder of Google graduated from elementary school in the small town of Adelfi. He received his secondary education in another city - Greenbelt. The father noticed the young Brin's penchant for mathematical sciences and at the age of nine gave him the first personal computer. After graduating from high school, Google founder Sergey Brin becomes a student in the mathematics department of the University of Maryland (in 1990). In 1993, he received a bachelor's degree in mathematics and computer science.
After completing his studies at the university, Sergey becomes a scholarship holder of the National Science Foundation. In the same year, he tries to enter the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he is denied. But the future founder of Google does not despair and continues his studies at Stanford University, where in two years he receives a master's degree and continues his scientific career.
While writing a
doctoral dissertation, Sergey Brin met with Larry Page. Future founders of Google quickly became friends based on common interests, one of which was the problem of searching, organizing and presenting information on the Web, as well as the principle of building search engines. Young people began to work together on these issues. As a result, Bryn developed link mass and ranking algorithms; Page outlined the concept of network search. Scientists could not sell the latest foundations and principles of the
search engine . Therefore, they decide to independently implement their own development. So, in September 1997, the domain name "google.com" was registered, and a new company was launched.
Google placed its first data center in a rented garage. An ambitious project was invested by friends, acquaintances and relatives of the founders of the company. In 1998, Google founder Sergey Brin officially registered Google. In the same year, a joint work was published, which describes the basic principles of the engine of the new search engine. Even at present, this work is considered one of the most deeply revealing of this topic.
High search results contributed to the popularization of the new system. In 1999, the company began to attract large investors. The founder of Google noted that the main advantage of his search engine is to focus on high-quality search, and not on advertising. It was Sergei who invented the company's credo: "Do not have evil intentions!" Initially, his project was not intended as commercial. Nevertheless, the system that regulated the selection of advertising in accordance with the result of the request began to bring more than decent income. In 2001, Google founder Sergey Brin took over as president of the company for technology issues.
Currently, Google is not only the most popular search engine, but also an innovator in technology and business.
