Caption:
Philip Emeagwali, mathematician and computer scientist.
Born in 1954, in Nigeria, Africa. President Bill Clinton called him
"one of the great minds of the Information Age" and CNN called
him "A Father of the Internet." Invented an international network that was similar to, but predated that, of the Internet.
Discovered mathematical equations
that enable the petroleum industry to recover more oil. Won the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize, computation's
Nobel prize, for inventing a formula that lets computers perform the fastest
computations, work that led to the reinvention of supercomputers. [Edward Seaga (left),
