The ups and downs in computer-science enrollments are due to a misunderstanding of what computer science is all about. True, we teach our students how to build computers and software systems, but we ...

Yet, instead of celebration, much of the conversation we hear about computing education in the era of AI-programming agents ...

In 1951, Saul Gorn was working for the US Army doing complex calculations for the Ballistic Research Laboratory. To do the calculations, he was using some of the first computers: ENIAC, EDVAC, and ...

Several technical advances have been achieved recently in the pursuit of powerful quantum computers. Now, Computer scientists have made an important breakthrough in the field of programming languages: ...

Kathryn Cunningham discussed her work applying human-computer interaction methods to support the needs and goals of computing students at the undergraduate level. An emerging trend within computer ...

Robby Findler, professor of computer science at Northwestern Engineering, and collaborators released Racket 8.0, a milestone implementation of one of the world’s leading environments for ...

Linguistics and computer science intertwined in the mid-20th century. Computers help linguists better understand and analyze languages and computer scientists use linguistics to advance programming.

Jean-Baptiste Mouret is at the French National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (INRIA), the University of Lorraine, and the French national research agency (CNRS), 54000 Nancy ...

What is the difference between an algorithm and a program? This free visual Computer Science poster uses a simple comic-style comparison to help students understand two fundamental programming ...

Neuroscientists have found reading computer code does not rely on the regions of the brain involved in language processing. Instead, it activates the 'multiple demand network,' which is also recruited ...

As humans have come to rely on artificial intelligence to make decisions traditionally performed by bureaucrats and institutions, it is necessary to understand the ways in which various forms of ...
