DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE

“Before you become too entranced with gorgeous gadgets and mesmerizing video displays,
let me remind you that information is not knowledge,
knowledge is not wisdom, and wisdom is not foresight.
Each grows out of the other, and we need them all.”

– Arthur C. Clarke

The Department of Computer Science was created from the Data Processing Organization Department
of the Institute of Organization and Management, which was established at the Faculty of Economics and
Sociology of the University of Lodz in 1971. In 1981, the Department was separated from the Institute and
transformed into the Department of Computer Science. The initiator and first Head of the Department, was Professor dr hab. Józef Szczepaniak, who had worked until 1989.

Since 1994, the Department of Computer Science has been a part of the Faculty of Management, of which it was a co-founder.
