Many plotting software can be used to create mathematics illustrations. They just tend to have more data-oriented rather than explanatory-oriented output.

Some good insights on the earlier history of the industry at: The Supermen: The Story of Seymour Cray by Charles J. Murray (1997).

One of the most enduring forms of storage! Started in the 1950s, but still used in the 2020s as the cheapest (and slowest access) archival method. Robot arms are needed to load and read them nowadays.

The opposite of volatile memory.

Computational problem where the solution is either yes or no.

When there are more than two possible answers, it is called a function problem.

Decision problems come up often in computer science because many important problems are often stated in terms of "decide if a given string belongs to given formal language".

A problem that has more than two possible yes/no outputs.

It is therefore a generalization of a decision problem.

A solution to a computational problem!
