4-Week Course on Wednesdays from November 4-December 2 (No class November 25) 1:00 PM-2:30 PM

Without advances in computing and telecommunications produced in Philadelphia and New Jersey, the Silicon Valley would not exist. Innovators at the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, and Bell Labs in Murray Hill, N.J., created the fundamental theories of computer science, the world’s first fully electronic general-purpose computer, transistors for low-cost computing, lasers for high-speed communications, and technologies that enabled digital sounds and pictures and seeded the computer revolution.
