According to Walter Isaacson, author of “The Innovators”, some early women influencers in computing included Ada Lovelace, and Grace Hopper (Isaacson, 2014). She observed while working with Charles Babbages on his calculating machine, that it beyond just calculating numbers, it could support anything symbolically, including music, and word processing. Ms. Lovelace (1815-1852) was a gifted computer programmer and mathematician that was considered to have written instructions for the first…

Computers and technology at large have change the lives of many people in the world both positively and negatively. Computers have unveiled many things which have greatly influenced our lives. This has made many teachers and students to adopt their use in classrooms. However, the use of computers in our classrooms have been characterized by over reliance on them. Cyber space have also played key roles in our lives. For instance there is increase in the number of research paper done each day…

My chosen major is Computer Science with a business concentration. I have always had an affinity for computers. It seems like on some level they speak to me and I wanted to learn how to speak back in their language. I also am a pretty big gamer and learning how to write and design games is something I have wanted to learn since I was about thirteen years old. Another reason I want to major in computer science is the ongoing proliferation of Internet connected devices and devices with single chip…

With a computer science degree from Harvard, Tony knew how to write code, and he decided to try a similarly algorithmic approach to creating culture. He devised a Ten-Commandments-type list (Exhibit III) that included such tenets as, “Be Humble”, “Create fun and a little weirdness” and “Build open and honest relationships with communication.” From that moment, those core values have driven all key decisions – from hiring to customer relationships to, most recently, downsizing. Tony explained,…

International Olympiad of Informatics to represent India, there was no doubt that I wanted to build things faster and more efficient than before. However, until then I did not know the booming field called machine learning. I always tried to make algorithms to predict something based on heuristic decisions or even just hardcoded bunch of decisions. It was only in UCSD when I took my first Machine learning course, I realized the true potential of Machines and Data and the sweet bond between…

technology does. I believe in the vision illustrated in Jeremy Rifkin 's book “The Zero Marginal Cost Society” that the emerging technology infrastructure – the Internet of Things (IoT) – will connect everyone and everything, use Big Data, analytics and algorithms to increase productivity and efficiency, and lower the marginal cost of producing and sharing to near zero. I feel excited to contribute to this great age of evolution. There are two fields in which I am particularly interested and…

selection can be costly endeavour. This paper proposes two new feature selection algorithms, based on binary particle swarm optimisation, with the aim of reducing running time without affecting classification accuracy by combining filter and wrapper approaches. The first algorithm proceeds cautiously by only updating the pbest and gbest, two critical values, after the learning system has been consulted. The second algorithm performs more reckless updates with the aim of sacrificing some…

Saleema Aziz Dr. Shazia Ali English 1302-46405 August 4th, 2014 Computer Skills Should be a Fundamental Part of Education Curricula During the old days, computers were not used in many places so, computer skills were not necessary. In the recent times, computers have become widely and practically used everywhere including offices, business firms, hospitals, hotels, in the homes among other places. Nearly everything requires the use of a computer. These skills are acquired from the learning…

Importance of Coding in Schools Computer programming or coding is becoming an extensive part of today’s society, we use a programmer’s work daily with our mobile phones and computers. As we continue on in advances with technology, our schools should be providing classes that will keep our nation’s students up to date. Offering these computer science classes to all students as early as kindergarten should be encouraged, because the schools best interest is within what skill sets our children…

1. Do you feel that your test scores and grades during high school accurately show your academic potential? Why or why not? I believe that my test scores and grades during high school accurately reflect my academic potential. Having spent 10+ years at a small private school, the transfer from primary school to a large public high school was a major change for me. After the first year, however, I gradually adapted to my school setting and felt more comfortable in my classes and activities at…
