John G. Cleary
John Gerald Cleary (19 October 1950 – 16 January 2014) was a New Zealand-Canadian professor of computer science, entrepreneur, politician and promoter of Transcendental Meditation. Academics Cleary received his secondary education at St Thomas of Canterbury College, St Thomas of Canterbury College, Christchurch. and attended Canterbury University, attaining a B.Sc. (Hons), MSc and PhD, before teaching at the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand and the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada. After working in the private sector in Canada, he returned to New Zealand to the University of Waikato, an association he maintained for the rest of his life. His most cited work is in the fields of data compression, machine learning, and logic programming. In particular, he independently discovered arithmetic coding and invented the prediction by partial matching (PPM) compression technique.

Computer Science
Computer science is the study of computation, automation, and information. Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, information theory, and automation) to Applied science, practical disciplines (including the design and implementation of Computer architecture, hardware and Computer programming, software). Computer science is generally considered an area of research, academic research and distinct from computer programming. Algorithms and data structures are central to computer science. The theory of computation concerns abstract models of computation and general classes of computational problem, problems that can be solved using them. The fields of cryptography and computer security involve studying the means for secure communication and for preventing Vulnerability (computing), security vulnerabilities. Computer graphics (computer science), Computer graphics and computational geometry address the generation of images. Progr ...
