Average Course Rating

This course takes the student through 2000 year journey of computing and computing hardware architectures from the Salamis Tablet, the Chinese Suanpan, the Incas Yupana, Babbage Analytical engine, personal computers, and smart phones to modern data center computing machinery and the recent explosion in AI. There will be some technical discussion, but the focus of the course is on people, events, society, and culture that shaped the development of computing and computing sciences as we know them today.
