Abstract
Computer science has a curious history in Argentina: it began late (more than ten years later than in USA), had a ten-year span of flowering, was completely destroyed by the military dictatorship in 1966 and, disregarding some advances in small universities in the 1970s, began to weakly revive in 1983. In this article we shall analyze the ten-years long (1956–1966) “golden age” of computer science in Argentina, that is imbedded into a “golden age” of Argentinean universities.
