A “nontraditional pathway” is defined as the path...

...This chapter examines the relationship between inquiries into the mind and the position of analytic philosophy and computer science on the subject. It argues that there is no formal system, whether it be logic, mathematics, or analytic philosophy, which can provide insight into the nature...

... biology and computer science should be combined. He made a deal to do computational work for biologists in exchange for being trained to do their sort of research—a very simple trading zone. The author succeeded in learning enough molecular biology to become a contributory expert, but spent most of his...

... in the last decades indicates that significant progress has been made at each of the levels of understanding—in a sense following Marr’s prescription—though the problem is far from being solved. It argues that neuroscience can help computational theory and even computer science. hodgkin A L huxley A E hubel...

...Research in systems biology requires the collaboration of researchers from diverse backgrounds, including biology, computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics, and biochemistry. These collaborations, necessary because of the enormous breadth of background needed for research in this field...

... machines that mimic, simulate, and perhaps even replicate this capacity, called metareasoning. This book offers a variety of perspectives—drawn from philosophy, cognitive psychology, and computer science—on reasoning about the reasoning process. It offers a simple model of reasoning about reason...

...This chapter begins with a generalized introduction on the concept of information and briefly discusses its uses across various fields. The author focuses on the concept of the information theory, a branch of computer science, and also examines the contributing efforts of R. A. Fisher and Claude...

...This chapter presents four themes that suggest some reasons why and how high school female students are — or are not — drawn into the field of computer science through their high school experiences. First, despite the national and local initiatives to “bring schools into the twenty-first century...

...The study of combinatorial auctions—auctions in which bidders can bid on combinations of items or “packages”—draws on the disciplines of economics, operations research, and computer science. This book integrates these three perspectives, offering a survey of developments in combinatorial auction...

...This chapter examines the emergence of computer science as the representative science of modern computing. It suggests that its rise as an academic discipline between the 1970s and the 1990s reflects a series of messy compromises about what the academic study of computing should look like and what...
