  • Introduction to Google's PageRank Algorithm

    11:15 AM Saturday   Room: 5501
    Each time we use Google, we ask Google's search engine to produce a list of websites closely matching information relevant to our search. This talk is an introduction to Google's search methods with a focus on the mathematical background of the PageRank algorithm. It is recommended that audience members have finished courses in Calculus, Linear Algebra and Numerical Analysis.
