This decade marks the first major strides to a modern computer, and hence the start of the modern era. Fermi's Rome physics research group (informal name I ragazzi di Via Panisperna ) develop statistical algorithms based on Comte de Buffon's work, that would later become the foundation of the Monte Carlo method .
The history of computer science began long before the modern discipline of computer science, usually appearing in forms like mathematics or physics. Developments in previous centuries alluded to the discipline that we now know as computer science. [ 1 ]
