Linguistics and computer science intertwined in the mid-20th century. Computers help linguists better understand and analyze languages and computer scientists use linguistics to advance programming.

I was entering the miseries of seventh grade in the fall of 1980 when a friend dragged me into a dimly lit second-floor room. The school had recently installed a newfangled Commodore PET computer, a ...

Long before you were picking up Python and JavaScript, in the predawn darkness of May 1, 1964, a modest but pivotal moment in computing history unfolded at Dartmouth College. Mathematicians John G.

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 ...

Some scientific discoveries matter because they reveal something new — the double helical structure of DNA, for example, or the existence of black holes. However, some revelations are profound because ...

Sphero, a known maker of robotic toys, launched a robotic toy car that hopes to help kids learn about the fundamentals of computer programming. The robot, called indi, can be programmed by kids using ...
