Sergey Mikhaylovich Brin born August 21, 1973 is a Russian American Computer Scientist who, along with Lawrence Page, is best known as the co-founder of Google, Inc., the world’s largest Internet company, based on its search engine and online advertising technology. Brin immigrated to the United States from the Soviet Union at the age of six. Earning his undergraduate degree at the Univerity of Maryland, he followed in his father's and grandfather's footsteps by studying mathematics, double-majoring in computer science. After graduation, he moved to Stanford to acquire a Ph.D in computer science. The Economist magazine referred to Brin as an "Enlightment Man", and someone who believes that "knowledge is always good, and certainly always better than ignorance", a philosophy that is summed up by Google’s motto of making all the world’s information "universally accessible and useful" and "Don't be Evil."
