{wiki=Category:1937_in_computing}
In the context of computing, "1937" is often associated with the introduction of the concept of the stored-program computer, a foundational idea in computer science. In that year, British mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing published a paper that outlined the principles of computation and the idea that a machine could be programmed to perform any computable task. This laid the groundwork for modern computing, including the development of programming languages and software engineering practices.
