Interview with Don Cowan.

A sound recording of an interview conducted by Dr. Anne Millar with Don Cowan, Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, for the Oral History Hub pilot project. The interview includes discussions about Cowan's family background, their decision to come to Waterloo and the path that brought them here, as well as their thoughts about the institution and where it will be at 100 years old, in 2057. Additional topics include computer science, IBM, Computer Science Days, math contests, WATFOR, WATFIV, MicroWAT, Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing, intellectual property, startups, co-op, Wes Graham, Ralph Stanton, Doug Wright, Ken Fryer, Paul Dirksen, Paul Cress, and Pat Fisher. The interview was conducted virtually from Waterloo, Ontario. File also contains a transcript of the interview.

Cowan, Donald D.

Correspondence.

A letter from Ralph G. Stanton to Donald Cowan regarding graduate courses available at the University of Waterloo in the Faculty of Mathematics in Fall 1960. In the letter, Stanton requests that Cowan review a list of course descriptions (not included in this file) and select which he would be most interested in as required for a Masters degree. File also includes Donald Cowan's reply to Stanton outlining the five courses that held the most interest for him.
