Computer Science
This section contains various types of links and computer science information that I have found to be interesting and helpful. I think that it is appropriate to include historical links and information so I will mention two people in computer science history. First, the Arabic mathematician, Muhammad ibn Musa Al'Khowarizmi, who published a book in the twelth century about a step-by -step problem solving procedure. He titled the book, "algorithms." I also want to mention Alan Mathison Turing. In 1936, while he was still a graduate student, Turing published a paper called "On Computable Numbers," which introduced the concept of a theoretical computing device now known as a Turing machine. It would be a shame to leave out Philip Zimmermann, the inventor of Pretty Good Privacy (PGP). It seems that some people were not happy with Mr. Zimmermann's creation. This section will continue to grow as I have time. Right now I'm taking a course in Artificial Intelligence Robots so I'll probably be adding some information on the subject. For the moment, I'll introduce you to Rod Brooks if you don't already know him. Stop in again. All links open pages in a new window. If you click and believe nothing has happened, check a different window.
