- Write an introduction that explains why they are famous and some interesting information about them.
- Write a biography: what situation were they living in, what did they achieve, and what impact has that had on society?
- The first mention of the binary search algorithm seems to have been made by John Mauchly.
- The most famous book on searching algorithms was written by Don Knuth, a mathematician and computer scientist. The book was started in 1962, and is called The Art of Computer Programming. Volume 3 is entirely about Sorting and Searching. He has several interests outside of computer science, including calligraphy and playing the organ.
- Search engines, which use algorithms to search the entire world wide web, were developed by many people, but one of the most famous search engines was developed by Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
