Google's Secret
Everybody knows that Google Inc.'s innovations in search technology
made it the No. 1 search engine in the world. Google made public
their US patent, which reveals a great deal of how they search
and rank web sites. We unveil some of the mathematics behind Google's
success: graphs, matrices, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and deep
results such as the Perron-Frobenius theorem. We will also discuss
other search tools such as Bing, WolframAlpha and Siri.
