Sixty years ago, on May 1, 1964, at 4 am in the morning, a quiet revolution in computing began at Dartmouth College. That's when mathematicians John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz successfully ran the ...

Having the ability to understand the basics of computer science can benefit you in a variety of technical careers. If you want to break into the world of computer programming or high-tech work, a good ...

Universities are no strangers to innovating with technology. EdTech wouldn’t exist if that weren’t true. But colleges were truly at the forefront when it came to the development of computer science.

I was a programmer back when the languages that were taught were COBOL (shudder), Assembly, Pascal, Fortran and BASIC. And all programmed on mainframes... My son is now quasi-interested in learning to ...

High Performance Computing (HPC) and parallel programming techniques underpin many of today’s most demanding computational tasks, from complex scientific simulations to data-intensive analytics. This ...
