Abstract
Determining the birth date of computer science is a very complicated task and certainly reliant to the standpoint chosen. Some may point out the work of Kurt Gödel [18], Alan Turing [31], and Alonso Church [11], thus locating the appearance of computer science to 1930’s. Some want to mention Charles Babbage’s engines, some Gottfried Leibniz’ Calculus Ratiocinator, and some refer back to the Euclidean algorithm.
