Calvin Carl Gotlieb

Computing pioneer and scholar Calvin Carl Gotlieb is aptly described as the father of computing in Canada. He co-founded the computation centre at U of T in 1948 and was part of the team that built the first computers in the nation. Gotlieb also created the first course in computing to be offered at a Canadian university and the first graduate department in computer science, both at U of T. An expert in mathematical, business and scientific applications, he is often consulted on social issues, timetables, graph theory, international development and seaway calculations.
