From Aristotle to the Pentium
Moshe Y. Vardi (Rice University)
Logic started as a branch of philosophy, going back to Greeks, who loved debates, in the classical period. Computers are relatively young, dating back to World War II, in the middle of the 20th century. This talk tells the story of how logic begat computing, tracing the surprising path from Aristotle to the Pentium. This is a story full of both intellectual drama, as well as real-life drama, with most of the characters dying young, miserable, or both. | Read More | Register |
