Computer science

curriculum offers a unique blend of mathematics and computer science courses. Though the course structure has a little more rigor than computer science, but owing to a deep interest in mathematics, I found it befitting my range of interests. During my freshman year, I was keenly probing for a research opportunity related to mathematics and computer science. The opportunity presented itself in the form of a selection letter from Indian Academy of Sciences to undertake a research project at Indian Statistical

Masters in Science in your esteemed institution. My curiosity of studying computer sciences came to me during my school days when the whole world is suffering due to Y2K issue and everyone who knows about computers were discussing about Y2K problem. Also it was the time advances in computers and information technology have bought revolution in all the industries. During that period I wished to be a part of future revolution and due to this reason I wanted to study computer science. As a first

One way in which computers and computer science has become so widespread is due to it being easy to learn and integrate into schools. The basics of computer science can be learned fairly quickly as the majority of computer programming is simple logic. It is so easy to learn that in Tennessee schools have begun teaching student the basics of computer programming as early as the third grade. This just goes to show how learning computer programming can be just as easily taught as basic maths and

In the book “Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence” by the National Research council staff, and published by National Academies Press, they talk about the importance of Artificial intelligence in the department of defense, especially in this day and age. They talk about how AI could help increase national security while reducing the risk for humans in hostile environments (ch.2 pg. 14). Along with that, it states that if we could advance far enough, the goal is to entirely replace the need

an inherent and overwhelming desire to design and innovate and this propelled me to opt for a career in engineering. In Computers, the tremendous scope for research, whose application potential could provide tremendous productivity gains, has always fascinated me. As a student in the final year of undergraduate study for a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Science & Engineering, I

Introduction: Ever since I was a grade schooler, I enjoyed experimenting with Linux terminal coding and programming on my computer. I can’t forget the very first moment that a simple program I developed started to work correctly. The beauty of computer science and computer engineering lies in the notion that even with the numerous innovations in the field, there does exist plenty of room for improvement. Watching and following the latest trends in the area of embedded systems, robotics, security

This will be my third attempt at entering the Computer Science major, but since my last two attempts I have worked to make my application more competitive. In particular, since my last attempt in February I have raised my grade point average in mathematics and physics as well as for my overall coursework at the University of Washington. I have also completed all of the General Education requirements except for foreign language, which I am completing over summer quarter. This means, that starting

The beauty of computer science and computer engineering lies in the fact that even with the ever increasing number of notions and innovations in the field, there do exist lots of rooms for improvement and development and the current can’t and won’t stop. This caught my eyes as a teenager and helped me to realize the future and career that I would like to seek. A time when I first wanted to make a change and advance towards improving my abilities and expanding my limits, was when I was preparing

decisions I have taken till now. My tryst with computers started when I was an 8 year old fascinated by watching movies like ‘Back to the Future’. I grew so passionate about all those gadgets and high-end technology used in the movies, that I started visualizing myself in the role of Marty McFly working with time travel machines. On a serious note, I consider myself lucky to be born in the era of dot-com bubble which infused the science of computers into Indian households and schools. This proved

Statement of Purpose Computer science has changed the way we live our lives in many ways. Computer engineers strive to make our life faster, easier and more organized. The words of Steve Ballmer sum up the vital importance of the sector today - ‘The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before, and so in a sense it
