Margot Gerritsen, Stanford
Location:
University of British Columbia
Topic:
How does Google google? The math behind the internet
Description:
We all Google. You may even have found this talk by Googling. What you
may not know is that behind the Google’s and other search engines is
beautiful and elegant mathematics. In this talk, I will try to explain
the workings of page ranking and search engines using only rusty
calculus.
