A computer is a very specific kind of machine. It can do arithmetic problems faster than any person alive. By means of electric circuit it can find the answer to a very difficult and complicated problem in a few seconds.
A computer can “remember” information you give it. It stores the information in its “memory” until it is needed. When you are ready to solve the problem, you can get the computer to sort through its stored facts and use only the proper ones. It works the problem with lightning speed. Then it checks its work to make sure there are no mistakes.

A computer that speaks a few languages teaches at Stanford University. The institute of Mathematical Studies in the Social Sciences has designed a computer system that has taken the function of teaching beginners’ courses in language.
The immediate aim is to make available computerized courses in languages. The program has advantages that make it popular for the teaching of widely spoken languages, such as Spanish, French and German. Two manufacturers already have produced calculator-sized computers, designed for travelers, that translate words and phrases.
However the program developed here is flexible. The computer offers highly individualized and interactive instructions. Unlike classroom training the program allows the student to move through the instruction as quickly or slowly as he wants, and whenever he has access to a computer terminal.
The use of computers in teaching is not new. Many universities offer computer-taught courses, primarily in mathematical and scientific subjects. Stanford has for years offered courses in logic and probability, some are taught entirely by computers.
