What is a computer program? Computer programs consist of a set of commands that the computer must execute. The computer executes the commands as it reads the file (from top to bottom) until it reaches ...
Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use some of ...
Computer hardware and software have evolved in such a way that they are vital components of diverse systems. Due to advances in data collection and analysis, along with ever increasing computational ...
You can get a computer science degree almost anywhere. So why not learn to sling code in the west? Where you can take classes on the frontiers of technology, and where you can get your hands on super ...
It wasn't Siri, nor a souped-up Scarlett Johansson. However, it seems that artificial intelligence may have gone even further toward a time when it will fool us that it's just like us. Emphasis on the ...
A century before the dawn of the computer age, Ada Lovelace imagined the modern-day, general-purpose computer. It could be programmed to follow instructions, she wrote in 1843. It could not just ...
It’s widely accepted that the first computer program was written by Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, in 1842, although a device for which it was intended wasn’t built in her lifetime. But a reader asks ...
AIs have defeated humans at even more computationally difficult games. This is an Inside Science story. A new computer program taught itself superhuman mastery of three classic games -- chess, go and ...
