Sorry for the late notice, but we are not that good in communication at A&M.

Stay sane, keep washing those hands, and practice social solidarity as well
as distancing,

*Abstract*

This talk is a walk through the early history of computing, from the
earliest days of mechanical computation devices through the early forms of
computers and software that we use today.  We’ll talk about people who were
key parts of many of these developments, and we’ll discuss the factors that
drove them into these developments.



*Biography*

John Keyser is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and
Engineering at Texas A&M University.  He joined Texas A&M in 2000, after
receiving his PhD in Computer Science from the University of North
Carolina, and earlier earned Bachelor’s Degrees in Applied Math,
Engineering Physics, and Computer Science from Abilene Christian
University.  His research has spanned a wide range of graphics, with the
majority of his work in the areas of geometric modeling, especially in
robust solid modeling applications, and physically-based simulation. He has
also worked on topics in rendering, data visualization, and a large
interdisciplinary project on scanning and reconstructing small animal
brains at sub-micrometer resolution.
