    WHAT IS MATHIMATICS?
    Mathematics is the abstract science of number, quantity, and space,
    either as abstract concepts(pure mathematics), or as applied to other
    disciplines such as physics and engineering(applied mathematics).
    THE WHO?
    ➔ SERGEY BRIN
    sergey mikhavilovich brin is an american business magnate, computer
    scientist and internet entrepreneur with an individual net worth of US $113
    Billion as currently stated.

    ➔ THE WHAT?
    “GOOGLE SEARCH ENGINE”, using “PAGE RANK ALGORITHM AND
    PROBALITY DISTRIBUTION”.

    SEASON BEFORE THE BUSINESS.


    The Hebrew immigrant Aid Society welcomed the Brin Family on their
    arrival in 2006 and supported them for a period of time.
    After much persuasion by his father Brin went forward to attain his
    Bsc in Mathematics at maryland as well in Computer Science at Stanford
    University.
    This is where he met Page.Things didn’t go well when they first met.
    They argued about every things and had diffrent opinions about everything
    they discussed .They both agreed it couldn’t work between them,but they
    gave it a second chance and google was given birth into existence.

    THE STARTUP IDEA OF THE BUSINESS.


    Google actually originated from the PhD. Project of he and Larry Page
    which was tagged “THE ANATOMY OF A LARGE-SCALE HYPER
    TEXTUAL WEB SEARCH ENGINE”.

    HOW INITIAL CAPITAL WAS RAISED.


    • He had to borrow money from professors and little cash from some
    friends before they could establish their first server.
    • A professor and student also invented $1000,000 into the
    business.They are currently billionares as a result of making that right
    decision.

    THE PROBLEM TARGETED BY THE BUSINESS


    IDEA.
    • The main issue to be resolved was the stress of finding resources
    when browsing on the internet.This brought about the “PAGE RANK”
    which sorted “the internet” according to the popularity of websites.

    ISSUES WITH FUNDING AND MANAGING THE


    BUSINESS AND SOLUTIONS.
    • In 1999, Page and Brin not realizing the potential of Google tried to
    sell it to former Excite CEO, George Bell at $1,000,000 and then $750,000
    but he refused.Today, the company is worth at least
    $900,000,000,000.They solved this problem by putting in a little more faith
    in their product.
    • In 2002, Yahoo “seeing the future of Google” decided to pay them off
    with $3,000,000,000 but, Brin and Page learning from their past ‘near
    mistake’ were not intrested .As at 2002, you wouldn’t belive if someone
    told you Yahoo became a sub-company of Verizon called Verizon
    Media.Although their mail services are still being used.

    ACHIEVEMENTS.
    He co-founded Google, Alphabet Inc. And page Rank.
    He and page were inducted into the National Academy of Engeering.He
    was selected specifically, for leadership in development of rapid indexing
    and retrival of relevant information from the “World Wide Web(www.)”.
    In 2004 they received the Marconi Foundation price.The highest award in
    engineering and were made fellow’s of the Marconi Foundation.
    In 2008, he and Page were award recipients as the EY Entrepreneur of
    the Year Award.
    In 2004 Brin received the American Academy of Achievements Golden
    Plate Award along with Larry Page.
    As at November 2009, they were declared the 5th most powerful people in
    the World.
    As at june 2021 he was the 8th richest man in the world with an individual
    net worth of US $105 plus Billion.

    LESSONS LEARNT.....
    • TRY AGAIN:if Sergey Brin actually cut all ties with Page instead of
    giving them a second chance, who knows that could have been their fate
    now?.
    • LISTEN TO OTHERS:The startup idea of the world’s internet giant
    might have not come fruition if Brin didn’t LISTEN to Page.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH.......................
