Academic Computing Services

The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers. - Richard Hamming, 1962 ...

Welcome to the University of Vermont Academic Computing Services World Wide Web server. Academic Computing has been a thriving tradition at the University for more than a quarter of a century, ever since the days of the IBM 1620, memorialized in the IBM punch card image.

Today, academic computing extends across the University, the state, and the whole planet. This web anchors a number of academically oriented web pages and projects based at UVM. Here's a sampling ...

• The Orient Express is a project with the College os Education and Social Services. We are designing a media and technology center for teaching and learning.

• The Electronic Classroom highlights various projects at UVM exploring the second wave (post-internet) use of computers in the classroom.

• The Hope Hall of Humanities focuses on computing in the humanities.

• The Deep Thought Think Tank collects basic research on the internet, the web, etc.

• The Web Footed Friends is a collection of personal home pages of University of Vermont students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

• Yahoo ! it's the Pacific Ocean of Information.

• Today's Computer Cartoon from John Zakour.

... Tomorrow

If we knew what we were doing,
it wouldn't be called research ...

If you have a project you would like to include in our web, or would like more information about Fortran, Academic Computing, the Web, or the emerging Global University, please drop a note to sjc@lemming.uvm.edu,
