In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm ( originating from al-Khwārizmī, the famous Persian mathematician Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī ) is a step-by-step procedure for calculations.

* Program analysis ( computer science ) – the process of automatically analyzing the behavior of computer programs

* Semantic analysis ( computer science ) – a pass by a compiler that adds semantical information to the parse tree and performs certain checks

* Atomic operation, in computer science

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.

Category: 1962 in computer science

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:

* A number of journals, specific to subfields of computer science, titled ACM Transactions.

Its subfields can be divided into practical techniques for its implementation and application in computer systems and purely theoretical areas.

He received the Turing Award in 1978 " for having a clear influence on methodologies for the creation of efficient and reliable software, and for helping to found the following important subfields of computer science: the theory of parsing, the semantics of programming languages, automatic program verification, automatic program synthesis, and analysis of algorithms ".

They are the most common coordinate system used in computer graphics, computer-aided geometric design, and other geometry-related data processing.

Computational geometry has been an important part of the computer graphics incorporated into modern video games and computer-aided design tools.

* WYSIWYG also describes ways to manipulate 3D models in stereo-chemistry, computer-aided design, and 3D computer graphics.

Computer-aided design ( CAD ), also known as computer-aided design and drafting ( CADD ), is the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design.

CDC was also attempting to diversify its revenue from hardware into services and this included its promotion of the PLATO ( computer system ) computer-aided learning system, which ran on Cyber hardware and incorporated many early computer interface innovations including bit-mapped touchscreen terminals.

Sketchpad is considered to be the ancestor of modern computer-aided drafting ( CAD ) programs as well as a major breakthrough in the development of computer graphics in general.

More recently, designs created using computer-aided design techniques may be transferred as a digital file directly to a computer printer or plotter ; in some applications paper is avoided altogether and work and analysis is done directly from digital displays.

In MBD, the information captured by the CAD software app is fed automatically into a CAM app ( computer-aided manufacturing ), and is translated via postprocessor into other languages such as G-code, which is executed by a CNC machine tool ( computer numerical control ).

The main impetus for the development of computational geometry as a discipline was progress in computer graphics and computer-aided design and manufacturing ( CAD / CAM ), but many problems in computational geometry are classical in nature, and may come from mathematical visualization.

Other important applications of computational geometry include robotics ( motion planning and visibility problems ), geographic information systems ( GIS ) ( geometrical location and search, route planning ), integrated circuit design ( IC geometry design and verification ), computer-aided engineering ( CAE ) ( mesh generation ), computer vision ( 3D reconstruction ).

* Numerical computational geometry, also called machine geometry, computer-aided geometric design ( CAGD ), or geometric modeling, which deals primarily with representing real-world objects in forms suitable for computer computations in CAD / CAM systems.

Bézier surfaces are a species of mathematical spline used in computer graphics, computer-aided design, and finite element modeling.

1950 ) is a computer programmer and a co-founder of the computer-aided design software company Autodesk, and a co-author of early versions of AutoCAD, a product Autodesk originally acquired from programmer Michael Riddle.

This includes computer-aided design ( CAD ), computer-aided engineering ( CAE ), computer language editing and compiling tools, integrated development environments, and application programmer interfaces.

* At MIT, Ivan Sutherland uses the TX-2 computer to write Sketchpad, the origin of graphical programs used for computer-aided design.

Computer-assisted translation, computer-aided translation, or CAT is a form of language translation in which a human translator uses computer software to support and facilitate the translation process.

Originally technical drawings were made by hand, but with the rise of advanced computer graphics the drawing board has been replaced by computer-aided design ( CAD ).

Daisy along with Valid Logic Systems and Mentor Graphics, collectively known as DMV, added front end design to the existing computer-aided design aspects of computer automation.

In the mid 1900s F. Freudenstein and G. N. Sandor used the newly developed digital computer to solve the loop equations of a linkage and determine its dimensions for a desired function, initiating the computer-aided design of linkages.

Despite the narrow interpretation of Blob architecture ( i. e. that coming from the computer ), the word, especially in popular parlance, has come to be associated quite widely with a or odd-looking buildings including Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum Bilbao ( 1997 ) and the Experience Music Project ( 2000 ), though these, in the narrower sense are not blob buildings, even though they were designed by advanced computer-aided design tools, CATIA in particular.

Other examples of horizontal markets include computer storage, accounting, desktop graphics, computer-aided design, sales force automation, and human resources.
