through 「 Today in history 」, Look at the future from the past , You can change the future from now on .

It's today 2022 year 7 month 5 Japan , stay 1994 Years of today , In the semiconductor war , Intel announced price cuts to stop competitors ; same day , Intel announced the first of its two price reductions for microprocessors , This move aims to prevent competitors from taking a larger share of their market . Intel, which has long dominated the microprocessor industry, has tried a variety of strategies , Make its Pentium chip become the same as IBM Compatible personal computer Standards . Review the history of science and Technology ,7 month 5 There were also three pioneers who had a great impact on the technology industry , Two of them were born on the same day , And study computer theory together after getting to know each other , Finally won the Turing prize .

Julius · Hartmanis （Juris Hartmanis） Born in 1928 year 7 month 5 Japan , He is an outstanding computer scientist and computing theorist , Richard · Stern （Richard E. Stearns） Together we got 1993 Year of ACM Turing Award , The award is in recognition of their groundbreaking papers that laid the foundation for the field of computational complexity theory . In this paper , Hartmanis introduced the time complexity class TIME(f(n)), And prove the time hierarchy theorem .1977 Hartmanis was working with another scientist Leonard Berman Another paper of the cooperation introduces the unresolved Berman-Hartmanis guess , That all the NP Complete languages are polynomial time isomorphic .

Hatmanis was born in Latvia . His father was a general of the Latvian army ,1940 After the Soviet Union occupied Latvia in , Hatmanis' father was arrested , Died in prison . At the end of World War II , Hatmanis' mother left Latvia with her children as refugees . Their family first moved to Germany , Hartmanis received a master's degree in physics equivalent to the University of Marburg there . Then hatmanis moved to the United States , On 1951 At Kansas City University （ Now known as the University of Missouri, Kansas City ） Master of Applied Mathematics , And get a Ph.D .1955 year , Hatmanis is Robert P. Dilworth Received a doctorate in mathematics from the California Institute of Technology .1999 year 5 month , The University of Missouri, Kansas City, awarded him an honorary doctor of humanities .

After teaching at Cornell University and Ohio State University , Hartmanis in 1958 Joined General Electric Research Laboratory . While working at GE , He developed many principles of computational complexity theory .1965 year , He became a professor at Cornell University , He became one of the founders and the first chairman of the computer science department of the University —— It is worth mentioning that , The computer science department of Cornell University is also one of the earliest computer science departments in the world .1989 year , Hartmanis was elected to the National Academy of Engineering , In recognition of his basic contributions to computational complexity theory, computational research and education . Hartmanis is also a member of the computer society and the American Mathematical Society .

Richard · Stern （Richard Edwin Stearns） Born in 1936 year 7 month 5 Japan , He is also an outstanding computer scientist , Together with hatmanis, I got 1993 Year of ACM Turing Award . 1994 year , Stearns was elected a member of the computer society . Unlike Hartmanis, Stearns had a magnificent and dangerous first half of his life , He is in 1958 Graduated from Carlton college in , Bachelor of Mathematics . Then I stayed in school and got my doctorate .1961 year , He also received a doctorate in mathematics from Princeton University , At the tutor Harold W. Kuhn Under the guidance of, I completed the project entitled “Three person cooperative games without side payments”（ Three person game without any reward ） Doctoral thesis . Stearns is now an outstanding Honorary Professor of computer science at the University of Albany , The university is also part of the State University of New York .

1968 year 7 month 5 Japan , The current Youtube Susan, CEO · Vasiki （Susan Wojcicki） born , She graduated from Harvard University , He received a master of Science degree from the University of California Santa Cruz and an MBA degree from the Anderson School of management at the University of California, Los Angeles . except Youtube This important position , Susan also has a very loud name ——“ The mother of Google ”;Google The company is in Susan · Wasiki was born in the garage .1998 year ,Google The two founders Larry · Page and Sergei · Brin set up his office in Susan · Vasiki In the garage .1999 year , Susan · Wosiki joins Google . And before joining Google , Susan worked at Intel （Intel） In office , As Bain company （Bain & Company） And Weber （R.B. Webber & Company） Management consultants .

Susan · Wosiki is Russian Jewish , In college, I studied history and literature at Harvard University , And in 1990 Graduated with excellent grades in . She was going to get a doctorate in Economics , And work in academia , But after discovering the trend of front-end Internet, change the plan . She also 1993 Received a master of Science Degree in economics from the University of California, Santa Cruz , And in 1998 Received an MBA from the Anderson School of management, University of California, Los Angeles . In Google , She participated in Google's initial viral marketing plan , With designers Ruth Kedar Together helped create the company's long-term logo , And took the lead in launching the first Google doodle .
