  2. Computer science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science

    Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation. [1][2][3] Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory) to applied disciplines (including the design and implementation of hardware and software). [4][5][6] Algorithms and data structures are central to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_computing

    Physical Computing, A path into electronics using an approach of “learning by making”, introducing electronic prototyping in a playful, non-technical way. (Yaniv Steiner, IDII) Theremino, an open source modular system for interfacing transducers (sensors and actuators) via USB to PC, notebooks, netbooks, tablets and cellphones. ^ "Ultibo Core".

  4. Computational science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_science

    Computational science, also known as scientific computing, technical computing or scientific computation (SC), is a division of science, and more specifically the Computer Sciences, which uses advanced computing capabilities to understand and solve complex physical problems. While this discussion typically extenuates into Visual Computation ...

  5. History of computer science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computer_science

    In 1969, an experiment was conducted by two research teams at UCLA and Stanford to create a network between 2 computers although the system crashed during the initial attempt to connect to the other computer but was a huge step towards the Internet. Claude Shannon (1916–2001) created the field of information theory.

  6. Computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computation

    Computation can be seen as a purely physical process occurring inside a closed physical system called a computer. Turing's 1937 proof, On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem, demonstrated that there is a formal equivalence between computable statements and particular physical systems, commonly called computers.

  7. Computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing

    Computer engineering is a discipline that integrates several fields of electrical engineering and computer science required to develop computer hardware and software. [34] Computer engineers usually have training in electronic engineering (or electrical engineering ), software design , and hardware-software integration, rather than just ...
