Andries "Andy" van Dam (born 8 December 1938 in Groningen) is a Dutch-born American professor of computer science and former vice-president for research at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Together with Ted Nelson he contributed to the first hypertext system, Hypertext Editing System (HES) in the late 1960s. He co-authored Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice along with J.D. Foley, S.K. Feiner, and John Hughes. He also co-founded the precursor of today's ACM SIGGRAPH conference.
Van Dam serves on several technical boards and committees. He teaches an introductory course in computer science and courses in computer graphics at Brown University.
Van Dam received his B.S. degree with Honors in Engineering Sciences from Swarthmore College in 1960 and his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1963 and 1966, respectively.
Van Dam has mentored undergraduates, other scholars, and practitioners in hypertext and computer graphics. One of his students was Randy Pausch, who gained national renown during his ultimately unsuccessful two-year fight with pancreatic cancer. Pausch's Last Lecture in September 2007 was the basis for the bestseller Last Lecture. Van Dam was the final speaker after the hour-plus talk. He praised Pausch for his courage and leadership, calling him a role model. Pausch died on July 25, 2008. danah boyd, Scott Draves, Dick Bulterman and Andy Hertzfeld also were students of Andy van Dam.
Brown University is a private, Ivy League research university in Providence, Rhode Island. Founded in 1764 as "The College in the English Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations," Brown is the seventh-oldest institution of higher education in the United States and one of the nine Colonial Colleges established before the American Revolution.
At its foundation, Brown was the first college in the United States to accept students regardless of their religious affiliation. Its engineering program, established in 1847, was the first in what is now known as the Ivy League. Brown's New Curriculum—sometimes referred to in education theory as the Brown Curriculum—was adopted by faculty vote in 1969 after a period of student lobbying; the New Curriculum eliminated mandatory "general education" distribution requirements, made students "the architects of their own syllabus," and allowed them to take any course for a grade of satisfactory or unrecorded no-credit. In 1971, Brown's coordinate women's institution, Pembroke College, was fully merged into the university.
Computer science is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications. It is the systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodical procedures (or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing, storage, communication of, and access to information. An alternate, more succinct definition of computer science is the study of automating algorithmic processes that scale. A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems.
Its fields can be divided into a variety of theoretical and practical disciplines. Some fields, such as computational complexity theory (which explores the fundamental properties of computational and intractable problems), are highly abstract, while fields such as computer graphics emphasize real-world visual applications. Still other fields focus on challenges in implementing computation. For example, programming language theory considers various approaches to the description of computation, while the study of computer programming itself investigates various aspects of the use of programming language and complex systems. Human–computer interaction considers the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable, and universally accessible to humans.

Hypertext: an Educational Experiment in English and Computer Science at Brown University is a documentary film from 1976 made by Brown University computer scientist Andries "Andy" van Dam. The film was funded by a 1974 grant provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities to support "an experimental program to teach a college-level English poetry course, utilizing a new form of computer based 'manuscript,' called a hypertext." More information about the grant is available on the NEH website [https://securegrants.neh.gov/PublicQuery/main.aspx?f=1&gn;=EH-10520-75]. To read the story behind how this film was re-discovered in 2016, see this article on the NEH website [http://www.neh.gov/divisions/odh/featured-project/invitation-film-screening-talk-the-university-maryland-celebrate-the-w...

A discussion about the ways in which the roles and relationships of academic libraries are changing to meet the University’s academic mission in the 21st century. “The Evolving Roles of Libraries in Teaching, Learning, and Research” focuses on a highly productive and successful relationship between the Brown University Library and the teaching and research of Computer Science Professor, Andries van Dam. University Librarian Harriette Hemmasi and Professor van Dam provide compelling examples that demonstrate the evolving nature of teaching, learning, and research at Brown.

Dit is een filmpje van www.luckytv.nl Sommige moeizame interviews zijn moeizamer dan andere. Ditmaal is Marcel van Dam er ook nog eens bij betrokken.
In de archieven vond VPRO recent een nooit uitgezonden interview met Pim Fortuyn. Voor het programma De Nieuwe Wereld klopte IJsbrand van Veelen begin 2002 bij Fortuyn aan om zijn mening te horen over leefbaarheid, de veiligheid van steden en gated communities. Het werd een college over veel meer: over onderwijs, verantwoordelijkheid van burgers, openbaar bestuur, een sterke overheid, de Nederlandse identiteit en het belang van emancipatie van islamitische vrouwen.
Pim Fortuyn in debat met Marcel van Dam in het programma 'Het Lagerhuis'.
This is the trial run for the English subtitled version of the now famous 1997 debate between Pim Fortuyn and Social Democrat Marcel van Dam, Part I. I invite any Dutch speakers to correct any inaccuracies, and for all non-Dutch English speakers to finally get to understand what this pivotal politician had to say. I have tried my best.
Debat over de moord op Pim Fortuyn, het boek 06-05 van Theo van Gogh en de verfilming daarvan.
www.vpro.nl/nff Ersin Kiris is samen met regisseur Pieter Kuijpers en actrice Lisa Zweerman onderweg naar de première van de film Riphagen. De film is gebaseerd op het waargebeurde verhaal van de meedogenloze oorlogsmisdadiger Andries Riphagen, een rol die wordt gespeeld door Jeroen van Koningsbrugge.

Google Tech Talks October, 23 2007 ABSTRACT For most of us who work on the Internet, the Web is all we have ever really known. It's almost impossible to imagine a world without browsers, URLs and HTTP. But in the years leading up to Tim Berners-Lee's world-changing invention, a few visionary information scientists were exploring alternative systems that often bore little resemblance to the Web as we know it today. In this presentation, author and information architect Alex Wright will explore the heritage of these almost-forgotten systems in search of promising ideas left by the historical wayside. The presentation will focus on the pioneering work of Paul Otlet, Vannevar Bush, and Doug Engelbart, forebears of the 1960s and 1970s like Ted Nelson, Andries van Dam, and the Xerox PA...
