In 1957 the German computer scientist [[Karl Steinbuch]] published a paper called Informatik: Automatische Informationsverarbeitung (i.e. "Informatics: automatic information processing"). Informatics is commonly misunderstood to be the same as computer science. But Informatics is theoretically oriented contrary to computer science and therefore is more oriented towards mathematics than [[computer science]]. | In 1957 the German computer scientist [[Karl Steinbuch]] published a paper called Informatik: Automatische Informationsverarbeitung (i.e. "Informatics: automatic information processing").
