Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google, driven by the PageRank algorithm. PageRank treated the entire internet as a massive mathematical graph, calculating the relevance and authority of a webpage based on the probabilistic distribution of incoming hyperlinks, establishing the most successful commercial data-sorting engine in human history.
