Features: Since the Renaissance, the long-standing scientific spirit and gradually formed academic norms have given Western countries a dominant advantage in various fields of natural science. It is also this tradition that has enabled the United States to produce a succession of leading figures and dominate the field of information technology for over six decades. In the process of commercialization, the U.S. industrial and academic have become increasingly closely integrated. Many of the giants in computer science are simultaneously at the forefront of both research and teaching. The classic scientific works that have emerged from this have not only outlined the scope of research but also revealed the evolution of academia. They adhere to academic norms while maintaining the individuality of scholars, and their value does not diminish with the passage of time.
