He was highly influential in the development of computer science, giving a formalisation of the concepts of " algorithm " and " computation " with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer.

Turing is widely considered to be the father of computer science and artificial intelligence.

Babbage understood that the existence of an automatic computer would kindle interest in the field now known as algorithmic efficiency, writing in his Passages from the Life of a Philosopher, " As soon as an Analytical Engine exists, it will necessarily guide the future course of the science.

In algorithmic information theory ( a subfield of computer science ), the Kolmogorov complexity of an object, such as a piece of text, is a measure of the computational resources needed to specify the object.

Algorithmic information theory is the area of computer science that studies Kolmogorov complexity and other complexity measures on strings ( or other data structures ).

In computer science, an array data structure or simply an array is a data structure consisting of a collection of elements ( values or variables ), each identified by at least one array index or key.

The term is also used, especially in the description of algorithms, to mean associative array or " abstract array ", a theoretical computer science model ( an abstract data type or ADT ) intended to capture the essential properties of arrays.

In computer science, an AVL tree is a self-balancing binary search tree, and it was the first such data structure to be invented.

In computer science, the analysis of algorithms is the determination of the number of resources ( such as time and storage ) necessary to execute them.

Run-time efficiency is a topic of great interest in computer science: A program can take seconds, hours or even years to finish executing, depending on which algorithm it implements ( see also performance analysis, which is the analysis of an algorithm's run-time in practice ).

In computer science, an abstract data type ( ADT ) is a mathematical model for a certain class of data structures that have similar behavior ; or for certain data types of one or more programming languages that have similar semantics.

This cutting-edge technology has a promising potential of leading a new revolution in science as integrated circuits did in computer developments.

In a category with exponentials, using the isomorphism ( in computer science, this is called currying ), the Ackermann function may be defined via primitive recursion over higher-order functionals as follows:

Practical computer systems divide software systems into three major classes: system software, programming software and application software, although the distinction is arbitrary, and often blurred.

Sorting algorithms are prevalent in introductory computer science classes, where the abundance of algorithms for the problem provides a gentle introduction to a variety of core algorithm concepts, such as big O notation, divide and conquer algorithms, data structures, randomized algorithms, best, worst and average case analysis, time-space tradeoffs, and upper and lower bounds.

RAID is now used as an umbrella term for computer data storage schemes that can divide and replicate data among multiple physical drives.

In computer programming, an attempt to divide a floating point number by zero will by default lead to positive or negative infinity by the IEEE 754 floating point standard.

In computer science, the Akra – Bazzi method, or Akra – Bazzi theorem, is used to analyze the asymptotic behavior of the mathematical recurrences that appear in the analysis of divide and conquer algorithms where the sub-problems have substantially different sizes.

While most Internet cafés are private businesses many have been set up to help bridge the ' digital divide ', providing computer access and training to those without home access.

In the subject of computer graphics, tessellation techniques are often used to manage datasets of polygons and divide them into suitable structures for rendering.

Around 1949, Leontief used the primitive computer systems available at the time at Harvard to model data provided by the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to divide the U. S. economy into 500 sectors.

It has been argued that the division into sectors obscures a divide between lifestyle business, non-profits, and larger businesses, and between those who receive state subsidies ( e. g., film ) and those who do not ( e. g., computer games ).

" Computer Clubhouse " teaches children of low income families computer skills for computer animation, graphic design, composing and editing, as a means to close the digital divide in our society.

Other topics examine social or critical issues in computer technology and literacy, such as the issues of " the digital divide ," equitable access to computer-writing resources, and critical technological literacies.

The Computer Center on the fourth floor of ABC No Rio seeks to close the digital divide by providing a public computer lab to the underserved Lower East Side.

Stroustrup has a master's degree in mathematics and computer science ( 1975 ) from the University of Aarhus, Denmark, and a Ph. D. in computer science ( 1979 ) from the University of Cambridge, England, where he was a student at Churchill College.

The 1571 built into the European plastic-case C128 D computer is electronically identical to the stand-alone version, but 1571 version integrated into the later metal-case C128 D ( often called C128 DCR, for D Cost Reduced ) differs a lot from the stand-alone 1571.

This allowed ARPA to concentrate its efforts on the Project Defender ( defense against ballistic missiles ), Project Vela ( nuclear test detection ), and Project AGILE ( counterinsurgency R & D ) Programs, and to begin work on computer processing, behavioral sciences, and materials sciences.

Also called Adventure, it contained many D & D features and references, including a computer controlled dungeon master.

Hanscom, MA ), devised what is known as the Bell-LaPadula model, in which a more or less trustworthy computer system is modeled in terms of objects ( passive repositories or destinations for data, such as files, disks, printers ) and subjects ( active entities — perhaps users, or system processes or threads operating on behalf of those users — that cause information to flow among objects ).

At the same time, Dorothy Denning at Purdue University was publishing her Ph. D. dissertation, which dealt with " lattice-based information flows " in computer systems.
