This seminar presents the history of computer science through the people behind the innovations. We will start with people like Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, and continue with people like Alan Turing and John von Neumann.
Depending on the number of students in the seminar, we will at each weekly session have one or two presentations by the students, or by groups of students. We will have 19 students, so 10 sessions with two presentations per session suffice.
Also staff members are welcomed to listen these presentations on Wednesdays at 14-16 at C220
