DESCRIPTION
Various subjects from the history of computing will be treated. Several highlights will be discussed and placed within the social context of its time. By discussing these highlights from several points of view the history of computer or information science will serve as a way to illustrate the various roles of computing in society. The book by Campbell-Kelly will serve as an outline, and during the lectures this story will be complemented by presenting a European version of the same history.
