Google

A pair of Ph.D. students from Stanford University, Larry Page  and Sergey Brin , created the Google search engine . Google originally started as a research project whose aim was to find relevant search results using a mathematical algorithm. The algorithm, later called PageRank , analyzed relationships between individual webpages based on their cross-references, thus assessing their importance. The name Google is a deliberate misspelling of the word googol , which refers to a very high number – 1 followed by a hundred zeros (10100 ).
