Computer Science Quotes
Computer Science Quote of the day
An algorithm must be seen to be believed.
Coding is today's language of creativity. All our children deserve a chance to become creators instead consumers of computer science.
If we suppose that many natural phenomena are in effect computations, the study of computer science can tell us about the kinds of natural phenomena that can occur.
Science is supposedly the method by which we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us. In computer science, we all are standing on each others' feet.
Most papers in computer science describe how their author learned what someone else already knew.
People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on each other, like a wall of mini stones.
The first law of computer science: Every problem is solved by yet another indirection.
Computer Science is a science of abstraction -creating the right model for a problem and devising the appropriate mechanizable techniques to solve it.
I don't know how many of you have ever met Dijkstra, but you probably know that arrogance in computer science is measured in nano-Dijkstras.
But biology and computer science - life and computation - are related. I am confident that at their interface great discoveries await those who seek them.
I try to learn certain areas of computer science exhaustively; then I try to digest that knowledge into a form that is accessible to people who don't have time for such study.
Computer science … jobs should be way more interesting than even going to Wall Street or being a lawyer--or, I can argue, than anything but perhaps biology, and there it's just a tie.
There's a good part of Computer Science that's like magic. Unfortunately there's a bad part of Computer Science that's like religion.
I fear - as far as I can tell - that most undergraduate degrees in computer science these days are basically Java vocational training.
Computer Science: A study akin to numerology and astrology, but lacking the precision of the former and the success of the latter.
Computer science is to biology what calculus is to physics. It's the natural mathematical technique that best maps the character of the subject.
Computer Science is the only discipline in which we view adding a new wing to a building as being maintenance.
Until Systers came into existence, the notion of a global community of women in computer science did not exist.
As you study computer science you develop this wonderful mental acumen, particularly with relational databases, systems analysis, and artificial intelligence.
When a professor insists computer science is X but not Y, have compassion for his graduate students.
We're not a vocational school. If someone wants to get a high-paying job, I would hope that there are easier ways to do it than working through a formal computer science curriculum.
Too few people in computer science are aware of some of the informational challenges in biology and their implications for the world. We can store an incredible amount of data very cheaply.
The main motivations were to try to leverage Google's expertise with large computer systems and to try to give something back to science
Software Engineering is that part of Computer Science which is too difficult for the Computer Scientist.
Computer science needs to be part of the core curriculum - like algebra, biology, physics, or chemistry. We need all schools to teach it, not just 10%.
I am a professor at the computer science department, but I don't know how to use a computer, not even for Email.
For those who wish to stay and work in computer science or technology, fields badly in need of their services, let’s roll out the welcome mat.
I considered law and math. My Dad was a lawyer. I think though I would have ended up in physics if I didn't end up in computer science.
I went to a school that's predominantly computer science and engineering. So, there's a real shortage of hot girls, let's say.
The goal of Computer Science is to build something that will last at least until we've finished building it.
I recommend computer science to people who practice meditation. The mental structures that are used in computer science are very similar exercises done in Buddhist monasteries.
Computer science is one of the worst things that ever happened to either computers or to science.
In life sciences, we find a reasonable balance between men and women. In engineering and computer science, we have a major problem. A very small percentage of women will be in computer science.
The training one receives when one becomes a technician, like a data scientist - we get trained in mathematics or computer science or statistics - is entirely separated from a discussion of ethics.
Computer science has as much to do with computers as astronomy has to do with telescopes.
I can't be as confident about computer science as I can about biology. Biology easily has 500 years of exciting problems to work on. It's at that level.
I remember that mathematicians were telling me in the 1960s that they would recognize computer science as a mature discipline when it had 1,000 deep algorithms. I think we've probably reached 500.
If you seek to develop the mind fully, for the enlightenment process, you will benefit if your career is related to computer science, law, medicine, or the arts.
Computer science doesn't know how to build complex systems that work reliably. This has been a well-understood problem since the very beginning of programmable computers.
Both women and computer science are the losers when a geeky stereotype serves as an unnecessary gatekeeper to the profession.
When I was 19 years old, I wrote my first book. I took a computer science class, and the book was garbage. I thought I could write a better one, so I did.
