【 摘 要 】

Abstract: 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.Bio: Dr. Margot Gerritsen is the Director of the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering at Stanford University. She is also the chair of the SIAM Activity group in Geoscience, the co-director and founder of the Stanford Center of Excellence for Computational Algorithms in Digital Stewardship, and the director of Stanford Yacht Research. She has been appointed to several prestigious positions, including Magne Espedal Professorship at Bergen University, Aldo Leopold Fellow, Faculty Research Fellow at the Clayman Institute and she is also a Stanford Fellow. She is the editor of the Journal of Small Craft Technology and an associate editor of Transport in Porous Media. We are delighted to have Dr. Gerritsen participate in the Mathematics of Planet Earth series.
