The skills and abilities associated with computer literacy are becoming required tools for accounting Ph.D. students. Not only are new doctoral students entering Ph.D. programs with better skills, they are also applying these skills more on a day to day basis. This paper presents a brief discussion of a number of issues associated with computer use and computer literacy in general. The paper also presents several aspects of the Ph.D. program at the University of Minnesota and how computers are affecting the program.


Course Syllabus: Perspectives On Computers And Society, Judith V. Grabiner Oct 1982

Course Syllabus: Perspectives On Computers And Society, Judith V. Grabiner

Pitzer Faculty Publications and Research

Weizenbaum's statement is a compelling exhortation to his fellow professionals; nevertheless, I cannot wholly agree. It should be possible for nonprofessionals to understand, as a result of their own reading and experience, how computers interact with the rest of human life. The problems are not just technical, and their nature is not entirely unprecedented.

Comparison Of Steady-State Pipe Network Computer Programs, Michael Bernice Holloway Aug 1982

Comparison Of Steady-State Pipe Network Computer Programs, Michael Bernice Holloway

Civil & Environmental Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Four widely used computer programs for the analysis of steady state flows in pipe networks are compared. These programs are NEWTH, written by Jeppson; KENTUCKY, written by Wood; FLOW, written by Epp and Fowler; and LIQSS, written by Stoner. Differences, similarities, advantages and disadvantages of these programs, and various options available are discussed for the benefit of possible future users. In addition, the efficiency of NEWTH, KENTUCKY, and FLOW was tested by simulating a typical network by each program. The listing of LIQSS was not available, and thus was not included in this comparison. In simulation, KENTUCKY used over twice …


A Hidden-Line Algorithm For Hyperspace, Robert P. Burton, David R. Smith Feb 1982

A Hidden-Line Algorithm For Hyperspace, Robert P. Burton, David R. Smith

Faculty Publications

An object-space hidden-line algorithm for higher-dimensional scenes has been designed and implemented. Scenes consist of convex hulls of any dimension, each of which is compared against the edges of all convex hulls not eliminated by a hyperdimensional clipper, a depth test after sorting and a minimax text. Hidden and visible elements are determined in accordance with the dimensionality of the selected viewing hyperspace. When shape alone is the attribute of interest, hidden-line elimination need be performed only in that hyperspace. The algorithm is of value in the production of shadows of hyperdimensional models, including but not limited to four-dimensional space-time …


A Theory Of Small Program Complexity, Kenneth I. Magel Jan 1982

A Theory Of Small Program Complexity, Kenneth I. Magel

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Small programs are those which are written and understood by one. person. Large software systems usually consist of many small programs. The complexity of a small program is a prediction of how difficult it would be for someone to understand the program. This complexity depends of three factors: (1) the size and interelationships of the program itself; (2) the size and interelationships of the internal model of the program's purpose held by the person trying to understand the program; and (3) the complexity of the mapping between the model and the program. A theory of small program complexity based on …

Fault Coverage Requirement In Production Testing Of Lsi Circuits, Vishwani D. Agrawal, Sharad C. Seth, Prathima Agrawal Jan 1982

Fault Coverage Requirement In Production Testing Of Lsi Circuits, Vishwani D. Agrawal, Sharad C. Seth, Prathima Agrawal

School of Computing: Faculty Publications

A technique is described for evaluating the effectiveness of production tests for large scale integrated (LSI) circuit chips. It is based on a model for the distribution of faults on a chip. The model requires two parameters, the average number (n0) of faults on a faulty chip and the yield (y) of good chips. It is assumed that the yield either is known or can be calculated from the available formulas. The other parameter, n0, is determined from an experimental procedure. Once the model is fully characterized, it allows calculation of the field …


Robotics And The Conservation Of Human Resources, Robert U. Ayres, Steven M. Miller Jan 1982

Robotics And The Conservation Of Human Resources, Robert U. Ayres, Steven M. Miller

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Due to rapid expansion in the field of robotics, policy issues have arisen in regard to developing human skills to deal with the new technology and to deal with the obsolescent human skills which are the inevitable result of this growth pattern. Industrialists, educators, union leaders, and government officials must work cooperatively to insure that the coming changes are made with minimum disruption. Improved training methods and courses have to be developed for the skills needed to control, manage and supervise the new machines. Some of the ways in which this can be accomplished are through offering financial incentives for …

The Development Of Algebraic Structures During The Nineteenth Century, Richard Stout Jun 1981

The Development Of Algebraic Structures During The Nineteenth Century, Richard Stout

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

I remember entering the faculty lounge one day while I was in graduate school and hearing a logician chiding some of the algebraists in the room. He said, "Don't you fellows ever get tired of just plus and times?" His remark, said in jest, had more to it than he may have realized. The fact that there is structure to algebra, represented by plus and times, was a vital discovery in the nineteenth century. It would lead algebra away from a reliance on numbers to a much more formal approach, one in which many different types of algebraic structures could …


Mathematics As Rhyme, Vern Poythress Jun 1981

Mathematics As Rhyme, Vern Poythress

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

Using the analogy between the universe and a choral poem, one may view mathematics as the “rhyme” of the universe. In that perspective new light is thrown on the unique subject matter of mathematics, the a priori character of its truths, and the relation of mathematics to other areas of knowledge. A route is thereby opened for richer use of creativity in mathematics.


Science As Allegory, Vern Poythress Jun 1981

Science As Allegory, Vern Poythress

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

The universe is God’s choral poem, and science is a system of allegories within it. That is the thesis that I propose to expound and defend. Yet it is not a “thesis” at all, if the word “thesis” commits me to a certain kind of strict logical defense. I am not putting forward my thesis that science is allegory as the endpoint of a deductive or inductive argument. Rather, it is a springboard for a program of exploration and reflection that turns upside-down some conventional ways of thinking about science.

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

The ACM Committee on Curriculum in Computer Science has spent two years investigating master's degree programs in Computer Science. This report contains the conclusions of that effort. Recommendations are made concerning the form, entrance requirements, possible courses, staffing levels, intent, library resources, and computing resources required for an academic, professional, or specialized master's degree. These recommendations specify minimum requirements which should be met by any master's programs. The Committee believes that the details of a particular master's program should be determined and continually updated by the faculty involved. A single or a small number of model programs are not as …

A Suggested Course In Introductory Computer Programming, Warren A. Harrison, Kenneth I. Magel Jan 1981

A Suggested Course In Introductory Computer Programming, Warren A. Harrison, Kenneth I. Magel

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Introductory programming courses have long been a popular topic of discussion. Often it is either the only computer course a student takes, or it is the foundation upon which all further training in computer science is built. The usual goal of such a course is to introduce the student to the use of a computer to solve simple problems in his or her particular discipline. Generally, the method of presenting the material may be separated into two distinct schools of thought, which we have termed the "Black Box School of Thought" and the "White Box School of Thought". In this …


Lsi Product Quality And Fault Coverage, Vishwani D. Agrawal, Sharad C. Seth, Prathima Agrawal Jan 1981

Lsi Product Quality And Fault Coverage, Vishwani D. Agrawal, Sharad C. Seth, Prathima Agrawal

School of Computing: Conference and Workshop Papers

At present, the relationship between fault coverage of LSl circuit tests and the tested product quality is not satisfactorily understood. Reported work on integrated circuits predicts, for an acceptable field reject rate, a fault coverage that is too high (99 percent or higher). This fault coverage is difficult to achieve for LSl circuits. This paper proposes a model of fault distribution for a chip. The number of faults on a defective chip is assumed to have a Poisson density for which the average value is determined through experiment on actual chips. The procedure, which relates the model to the chip …
