Robert Noyce, "The Mayor of Silicon Valley"
Robert Noyce, "The Mayor of Silicon Valley" Childhood Robert Noyce was born on December 12, 1927, in Burlington, Iowa. Since his youth, Noyce was always interested in how things worked and would always be building new things. He not only built a small aircraft with his brother, but managed to build a radio from scratch as well. Noyce had a very active childhood in that he participated in many different extracurricular activities such as acting and swimming. He later went on to attend Grinnell College in Iowa. Academic Success As an undergraduate at Grinnell College, Noyce became fascinated with physics after taking a class headed by professor Grant Gale. Gale was able to get some of the

He graduated from Grinnell College with high honors and double majored in both physics and mathematics. Noyce then went on to receive his doctorate in physics from MIT as well. Early Career After receiving his doctorate in physics, Noyce went on to work for two different companies. He first began working as a research engineer for Philco Corporation. He then went on to work for Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory, and worked with William Shockley, the co-inventor of the transistor. He was tasked with helping the company in producing high-speed transistors as an engineer. Noyce was so interested in this position that he decided to rent a home before his official interview. Due to some management issues and the company's inablity to properly produce transistors, Noyce and seven other engineers walked out in protest and moved on to co-found their own company, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation. The Revolutions During his time at working as the manager of Fairchild Semiconductor, Noyce invented a product that resulted in his first revolution the semiconductor industry. He is accreditted with building the very first integrated

He finished his doctorate, started concentrating on identity. It is said that he was the first teacher to instruct a school level course on identity hypothesis, a course that today is required by about all undergrad brain science majors.
A year later, in 1868 he landed in New York City by using a Boston steamship, he was poor, penniless, and in debt. He went looking for work and tried his luck being in the operating room of the Gold and Stock Telegraph Company. One day when their ticker apparatus broke down, no one but Thomas was able to fix it. As a result of his help, he was given a job as superintendent with an amazing salary of $300 per month. Early in 1869, he went into a partnership with Franklin L. Pope, as an electrical engineer, and in a fundamental way, he improved stock tickers and patented several associated inventions, among which were the Universal Stock Ticker and the Unison Device. Later in the year, he received his first payment, a $40,000 check, for one of his inventions, but he sent the money back to his parents, who were financially desperate at the time. Then he opened a manufacturing shop in Newark, where he made stock tickers and worked on developing the quadruplex telegraph. Afterward he assisted Sholes, the inventor of the typewriter, in making the first successful working model of the device. (Beals,
Feynman was born in New York and before he was even born his father decided that, “If it’s a boy, he’s going to be a scientist” (Feynman 12). For this reason, Feynman grew up in a family where he was const...
I hope I have answered the question “What was his personal life like?” good in here and would like to summarize by saying that he was able to overcome all odds to become a famous inventor that even had a movie made by him. I would also like to say that He made many, many products that we still use all from simple plants like peanuts in summary to the answer of the question “What did he actually do?”. He also had many hobbies that ended up in helping many people (“What did he like to do when he wasn’t working?”). I have found that this man that I knew nothing about before the report is one of the few real life people I know of that overcame so many things in his life that almost no one even knows
At the age of thirteen he began working in order to earn money for college. He was a shoe shiner, an elevator boy, and a paper boy. He attended the all-black Armstrong High School, where he acted in plays, was a sergeant in the Cadet Corps, and earned good grades, graduating at the age of 16.
...ysics.” Although he did possess some personal qualities and knowledge that enabled him to look at things differently and allowed him to answer many difficult questions in the 20th century, without any help from other scientists modern physics would look very different from what it looks like right now. His views and ideas had to conform with previously established principles, had to be logically valid and had to go through a review process before being accepted as a part of the discipline of physics. This shows how strong personal knowledge led to advances in an area of knowledge and in shared knowledge.
Richard P. Feynman was born in 1918 in Brooklyn; in 1942 he received his Ph.D. from Princeton. Already displaying his brilliance, Feynman played an important role in the development of the atomic bomb through his work in the Manhattan Project. In 1945 he became a physics teacher at Cornell University, and in 1950 he became a professor at the California Institute of Technology. He, along with Sin-Itero and Julian Schwinger, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 for his work in the field of quantum electrodynamics.
At the age of fourteen, Pierre was given a private tutor. This tutor discovered Pierre’s great interest in mathematics and physics. At age sixteen, Pierre earned his bachelor’s degree. He received his licentiate in physics ...

Jeff attended Miami Palmetto high school and was valedictorian of his class. He went to Princeton and planned to study physics. He believed, however, that other physics students were much smarter than him. Therefore, he studied electrical engineering and computer science. He graduated summa cum laude in 1986 with a GPA of 4.3 on a 4.0 scale.

He studied electrical engineering at Graz Politechnic in Graz, Austria. He then moved to Budapest to work for the American Telephone Company in 1881. He then moved to Yugoslavia, where he became chief engineer to that country's first telephone system. Later he moved to Paris to work for the Continental Edison Company. While there, he developed devices that used rotating magnetic fields, for which he later received patents.
