text = '''I believe that it is fundamental to have an
overview of the history that later formed Computer Science.
People know work of individuals such as Dijkstra.
But, there are several individuals who led to computers
even existing. It was a process that started in the early
800s, and started to grow in the 1800s and the 1900s.
How did simple changes in voltage develop machines such
as computers? It is incredible that the works of individuals
across different centuries led to computers. It is important
to explore the process of how these concepts are discovered.
300 BC In 300 BC Euclid writes a series of 13 books called
Elements. The definitions, theorems, and proofs covered in
the books became a model for formal reasoning. Elements was
instrumental in the development of logic modern science. It
is the first documented work in Mathematics that used a
series of numbered chunks to break down the solution to a
problem. 300 BC 800 AC Following Euclid, notes about recipes,
etc. were the closest thing to how we think at algorithms
today. Also, there was also the inventions of mathematical
methods. For example, Sieve of Eratosthenes, Euclid s
algorithms, and methods for factorization square roots.
It seems common to us now to list things out in the order
we will do them in. But, in Mathematics at that time it was
not a common idea. 800s The story really starts in the 800s
where we meet a person named al Khw rizm . His name roughly
translates to Algoritmi, in Latin, and he develops a technique
called Algorism. Algorism is the technique of performing arithmetic
with Hindu Arabic numerals. Al Khw rizm is considered to be the
grandfather of Computer Science.'''
