1955: Logic Theorist. The first artificial intelligence program written by Allen Newell, Herbert Simon and J. C. Shaw mimicked the problem solving skills of a human by proving math theorems. The term artificial intelligence (AI) would be coined in 1956 at the Dartmouth summer research project on artificial intelligence.

evolutionary history of tools is the evolutionary history of human civilization. As the most important tool nowadays, computer, is absolutely a sign of culture. And software, the approaches to control computer, is the crystallization of human wis-dom. In this chapter, we will introduce computer, the stage of software, from its history to culture.
as “computer science” is known to the rest of.: western Europe as informutique (or Informatik or. informutica). Much of the concern over informa-tion as a commodity and as a natural resource derives from the computer and from computer-based communications technology.’ Hence, the history of the computer and of computing is cen-
Alan Turing. Charles Babbage laid the foundations of Computer Science, but it was Alan Turing of England who is regarded as the “Father of Computer Science”. He provided a new concept of both algorithms and the process of calculations with the invention of his Turing Machine.
This course will provide a venue for students to learn about history through the evolution of number systems and arithmetic, calculating and computing machines, and advanced communication technology via the Internet. Students who take this course will attain a degree of technological literacy while studying core historical concepts.
