Learn Heaps About Computers

Kwabena Boahen is using the human brain as the blueprint for designing radically more powerful and energy-efficient computers. In this short demo, Boahen describes how his Brains in Silicon lab at Stanford University has created computer chips with “synapses” and “neurons” — and how these chips might revolutionize computing.

On September 22, 2009, Carnegie Mellon University officially dedicated the Gates Center for Computer Science and Hillman Center for Future Generation Technologies. Computer science undergraduate and graduate students share what the new centers will mean for their experience at Carnegie Mellon and the future of computer science.

Recursion can be a useful tool, if you understand how it works. Expect recursive techniques to use more memory and execution time than comparable sequential/iterative techniques. Watch your depth!

1. Review “parameter passing” in whatever textbook you’re using. (in particular make sure you understand the difference between passing by value and passing by reference)
2. Review the pages in your book that discuss “storage class” (static vs dynamic memory)
3. Solve your problem on paper first just using symbols and lines.
4. Check your TERMINATION and RECURSIVE CONDITIONS. Recursion requires 2 things: a recursive rule(s) and a termination condition!
5. Solve the simplest version of the program that you can think of first, i.e. factorial(0) or generate a fractal one level deep.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin are computer scientists. Mark Zuckerberg took computer science in Harvard. So does it mean only computer science students are capable of making billion-dollar worth websites?

I mean, do you think Larry Page and Sergey Brin can make Google if they never took computer science?
