Acerca de Computer Science

Computer science es uno de varios eventos académicos sancionados por la University Interscholastic League (UIL).

Resumen

Computer science es uno de varios eventos académicos sancionados por la University Interscholastic League (UIL). Computer science está diseñado para evaluar las habilidades de programación de los estudiantes. No es lo mismo que el concurso de aplicaciones informáticas, que evalúa las habilidades de los estudiantes para usar software de procesamiento de textos, hojas de cálculo y bases de datos, incluida la integración de aplicaciones. Computer science comenzó durante el año escolar 1990-91 estrictamente como un evento de equipo. No se puntuó como un evento individual hasta el año escolar 1996-97. Elegibilidad Los estudiantes de 9.º grado hasta 12.º grado son elegibles para participar en este evento.

Notable quotes

“Software engineering is the part of computer science which is too difficult for the computer scientist.”
— Friedrich Bauer, "Software Engineering." Information Processing: Proceedings of the IFIP Congress 1971, Ljubljana, Yugoslavia, August 23-28, 1971.
“Computer science... differs from physics in that it is not actually a science. It does not study natural objects. Neither is it, as you might think, mathematics; although it does use mathematical reasoning pretty extensively. Rather, computer science is like engineering; it is all about getting something to do something, rather than just dealing with abstractions, as in the pre-Smith geology.”
— Richard Feynman, Feynman Lectures on Computation, 1970
“Without real experience in using the computer to get useful results the computer science major is apt to know all about the marvelous tool except how to use it. Such a person is a mere technician, skilled in manipulating the tool but with little sense of how and when to use it for its basic purposes.”
— Richard Hamming, 1968 Turing Award lecture, Journal of the ACM 16 (1), January 1969, p. 6
“I can’t be as confident about computer science as I can about biology. Biology easily has 500 years of exciting problems to work on. It’s at that level.”
— Donald Knuth (1993) Computer Literacy Bookshops Interview
“Computer science is neither mathematics nor electrical engineering.”
— Alan Perlis (1968) title of article "Computer Science is neither Mathematics nor Electrical Engineering" in: A. Finerman (Hg.), University Education in Computing Science, New York, London, pp. 69-77
“Any problem in computer science can be solved with another level of indirection.”
— David Wheeler (Attributed in: Butler Lampson. Principles for Computer System Design. Turing Award Lecture. February 17, 1993.) Wheeler is said to have added the appendage "Except for the problem of too many layers of indirection."
