From jacobson@math-cs.cns.uni.edu Mon Jan 8 21:35:19 2007 Date: Mon, 08 Jan 2007 15:35:16 -0600 (CST) From: Mark Jacobson To: 810-021-01-spring@uni.edu Subject: [810-021-01-SPRING] Computer Skills and Concepts web page... Hi 021 students, http://math-cs.cns.uni.edu/~jacobson/c021.html There is a summary of today's class (you will need the handout from today's class) available at the web site. It is partially a review of today (Monday) and a preview of Wednesday's class, where we will continue. I also have added the reading assignment, and put up a link to some supplementary information on the four generations of computers, i.e. the vacuum tubes, transistors, integrated circuits and microprocessors. After the 2nd generation, the story can pretty much be summed up as: "Honey, I shrunk the transistors". http://math-cs.cns.uni.edu/~jacobson/c021.html Mark
