论文摘要
1965年6月，BVM的玛丽·肯尼斯·凯勒（Mary Kenneth Keller）姐妹获得了计算机科学博士学位，本文概述了她的生活和成就。作为学者，她的区别是早期倡导人工智能学习。她的主要学术贡献是在高中和小型大学中塑造计算机科学教育。她是将计算机视为符号操纵器，为所有人提供计算机素养以及用于人类服务的计算机的象征操作器的传播者。她领先于确保妇女在技术领域的努力以及消除障碍阻止其参与的努力，例如获得教育和日托的障碍。她是一个坚强而充满活力的女人，是一个有远见的人，可以看到计算机将如何彻底改变我们的生活。本文的沉默似乎是：在计算机科学上，詹妮弗·哈德（Jennifer Head）和戴安娜·P·奥利里（Dianne P.
In June 1965, Sister Mary Kenneth Keller, BVM, received the first US PhD in Computer Science, and this paper outlines her life and accomplishments. As a scholar, she has the distinction of being an early advocate of learning-by-example in artificial intelligence. Her main scholarly contribution was in shaping computer science education in high schools and small colleges. She was an evangelist for viewing the computer as a symbol manipulator, for providing computer literacy to everyone, and for the use of computers in service to humanity. She was far ahead of her time in working to ensure a place for women in technology and in eliminating barriers preventing their participation, such as poor access to education and daycare. She was a strong and spirited woman, a visionary in seeing how computers would revolutionize our lives. A condensation of this paper appeared as, ``The Legacy of Mary Kenneth Keller, First U.S. Ph.D. in Computer Science," Jennifer Head and Dianne P. O'Leary, IEEE Annals of the History of Computing 45(1):55--63, January-March 2023.
