He graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Science in computer engineering as his undergraduate degree.

Lary Page Career
-Creation of Google
Larry and a fellow Ph.D. student called Sergey Brin collaborated on the “Backrub” project. The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine was the title of the study they jointly wrote. At the time, their paper had received more scientific document downloads than any other in internet history.
They then created an algorithm that assigned a quality score to each website on the internet using the Backrub web crawler. They gave this algorithm the moniker “PageRank,” which was a play on Larry’s last name and the term for an internet page. The next natural development after creating a crawler and an algorithm was a search engine to show results.
In 1998, Larry and Sergey founded Google as a private company after essentially being expelled from campus for abusing too many university computer resources. Actually, the first domain name was “Googol,” which is a number made up of one followed by one hundred zeros. They started out with a $100,000 investment from David Cheriton, one of their Stanford teachers.
On August 20, 2004, Google went public under the leadership of CEO Eric Schmidt, who had been hired to transform the company into a successful enterprise. Schmidt held the position of CEO until 2011, at which point Larry took over once more. He held the position of CEO until December 2019 and was replaced by Sundar Pichai, at which point he and Sergey left the organization but still hold the shares. The corporation now brings in more than $130 billion annually.
Google had a very fruitful year in 2005. In that year, Google Maps, Blogger Mobile, Google Reader, and iGoogle all debuted. The next year, Google bought Youtube and added chat support to Gmail.
In 2004, Google.org, the company’s charitable division, was established. The group is committed to developing technical answers to issues like world hunger and poverty.
