Course Description:
This course examines papers every computer scientist should have read, from the 1930s to the present. It is meant to be a synthesizing experience for advanced students in computer science: a way for them to see the field as a whole, not through a survey, but by reliving the experience of its creation. The idea is to create a unified view of the field of computer science, for students who already know something about it, by replaying its entire evolution at an accelerated frame rate.
Prerequisites: CSCI E-124 plus one other 100-level computer science course.
Notes:
On campus with online option.
All students are required to attend and participate during the regularly scheduled class time, either by being present in the classroom or via Zoom webconferencing software.
