how was science, technology, math, and engineering used in the creation of facebook? - Jennifer Shyer - 01-18-2013 04:21 AM
I'm doing a project in tech and am not completely sure how to answer this question. Just to let people know that it will end up in a table/chart form so it does not have to be in complete sentences.
Thank you!!!

That link is a good place to stop. The physical implementation of Facebook's server farm definitely involves large scale technological and engineering implementations (i,e, Network Engineering).
Math and Science are both utilized in the programming of Facebook's website, on both the client and server ends.
Programming, especially large-scale network programming, requires extensive use of advanced mathematics and algorithm design.
Science can specifically relate to the multiple types of computer science involved in all levels of Facebooks development. It can also relate to the social sciences of analyzing trends based on data gathered by users interacting with the site; aswell as analysis of market trends from advertising, etc.
