In 1946, a model for computer architecture was introduced and became known as von Neumann Architecture. Since 1950, the von Neumann model provided uniformity in subsequent computer designs. The von Ne ...
From experiments with anti-aircraft systems that interpreted radar images to detect enemy planes, Norbert Wiener coined the term cybernetics from the Greek word for "steersman." He published "Cybernet ...
Up to and during the 1930s, electrical engineers were able to build electronic circuits to solve mathematical and logic problems, but most did so in an ad hoc manner, lacking any theoretical rigor. Th ...
The mathematical foundations of modern computer science began to be laid by Kurt G?del with his incompleteness theorem (1931). In this theorem, he showed that there were limits to what could be prove ...
Charles Babbage is often regarded as one of the first pioneers of computing. Beginning in the 1810s, Babbage had a vision of mechanically computing numbers and tables. Putting this into reality, Babba ...
The earliest known as tool for use in computation was the abacus, developed in period 2700–2300 BCE in Sumer . The Sumerians' abacus consisted of a table of successive columns which delimited the suc ...
The history of computer science began long before the modern discipline of computer science that emerged in the 20th century, and hinted at in the centuries prior. The progression, from mechanical inv ...
