PROCESSED BY: Anne Hinseth December, 2000 History Fr. Sylvester Eisenman was born Norbert Eisenman to Edward Landelin Eisenman and Elizabeth Mary Hulsman on January 10, 1891 in New Albany, Indiana. Eisenman had five brothers, two who also became priests and one who died in infancy. In May of 1895, Edward Eisenman went Montana to work for the Kentucky-Montana Mining Company. He was killed in a freak accident in July of 1895. Norbert Eisenman had a great desire to become a Jesuit and in 1906 he attended St. Meinard College. On Aug. 15, 1911 he took vows and received the name Sylvester. He was ordained as a priest on May 25, 1916 at St. Meinard Abbey, Indiana. Eisenman became a member of the Order of Saint Benedict. Eisenman had contracted tuberculosis and his superiors felt that if he was sent as a missionary to North Dakota he could recover. He was sent to the Seven Dollors Mission at Forth Totten, ND in 1916. In the fall of 1918, he was transferred to Stephen, South Dakota and he spent the majority of his time on the road traveling to ten different missions. This constant travel earned him the name of Ti-kdi-sni or Never at Home. In 1921, three chiefs, Yellow Bird, Thunder Horse and Dave Zephier, personally petitioned Eisenman’s abbot to have him permanently assigned to St. Paul’s Mission in Marty, South Dakota. The petition was successful and Eisenman began his lifelong career at St. Paul’s.

    Extractions: This Week Inventor Archive Inventor Search Inventor of the Week Archive Browse for a different Invention or Inventor Fortran John Backus developed Fortran, or Formula Translator, one of the first general purpose, high-level computer programming languages. This widely used language made computers practical, accessible machines for scientists and others without requiring them to have deep knowledge of the machinery. Backus was born in Philadelphia on Dec. 3, 1924 and grew up in Wilmington, Delaware. His affluent family sent him to the prestigious Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, but he was not a particularly disciplined student, and his grades were poor. Nevertheless, he graduated in 1942 and attended the University of Virginia. He was expelled during his freshman year for poor attendance and joined the U.S. Army. While in the Army, Backus performed well on an aptitude test for medical skills and was sent to Haverford College to study medicine. Meanwhile he was diagnosed and treated for an operable brain tumor. He continued to study medicine at Flower and Fifth Avenue Medical School in New York but just nine months later he dropped out. Unsure of what he wanted to do with his life, he rented an apartment in New York and thought he would learn how to build a hi-fi set for himself. He enrolled at a radio technician’s school. It was there that he discovered his aptitude for mathematics. Shortly thereafter Backus enrolled at Columbia University to study math. He completed his degree in 1949 and was hired by IBM in 1950 to work on the Selective Sequence Electronic Calculator (SSEC), one of IBM’s early electronic computers. He worked on the project for three years. Early on, part of his job was to attend the machine and fix it when and if it stopped running. Programming the machine was difficult, as there was no organized system of doing it. Backus invented a program he called Speedcoding to streamline the process. The program included a "scaling factor," which allowed numbers of all sizes to be easily stored and manipulated.

    http://www.infinityfoundation.com/mandala/t_es/t_es_rao-t_syntax.htm
    
    Extractions: Vyaas Houston (1991), in one of his writings, mentions his discovery of the world's oldest living language: Sanskrit, the language of ancient India and Vedic civilization. He states thus: The sophistication Houston refers to is about the formalism and structure of the language. For computer scientists, in the theory of formal languages, the word "formal" refers to the fact that all the rules for the language are explicitly stated in terms of what strings of symbols could occur, without any ambiguity and the need for interpretations based on mental skills. Sanskrit not only has a very rich inflectional structure but this fact was recognized early by grammarians and it has contributed to the mystique of the language. A famous grammar of Sanskrit was compiled by Panini, who flourished around 500 B.C., and his work Astadhyayi has been studied in India for centuries, inspiring many commentaries. The prestige of Panini's grammar is so great that the earlier grammars of the language were lost. Panini's grammar uses a variety of formal techniques including recursion, transformations, and metarules. Here we examine one specific feature of his structure that has been used also in the representation of high-level languages.

He received the 1977 ACM Turing Award for these seminal achievements. Backus' Turing citation read as follows: Backus was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but grew up in Wilmington, Delaware . He studied at the Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania , and was apparently not a diligent student. After entering the University of Virginia to study chemistry, and failing that, he then joined the US Army and began medical training, which he also dropped out of after nine months.

    Extractions: FORTRAN (an acronym for FORmula TRANslation, the first high-level programming language [HLL]), was invented by John Backus for IBM in 1954 and released commercially in 1957. It is still used today for programming scientific and mathematical applications. Backus headed the IBM team of researchers that invented FORTRAN at the Watson Scientific Laboratory at Columbia University in New York. The IBM team didn't invent HLL or the idea of compiling programming language into machine code, but FORTRAN was the first successful high-level language, and the FORTRAN I compiler held the record for translating code for over 20 years. FORTRAN is now over 45 years old and remains the top language in scientific and industrial programming. It has been constantly updated. FORTRAN has been used for programming video games, air traffic control systems, payroll calculations, numerous scientific and military applications, and parallel computer research. Backus won the 1993 National Academy of Engineering's Charles Stark Draper Prize, the highest national prize awarded in engineering, and in 1977 he won the A.M. Turing Award for profound, influential, and lasting contributions to the design of practical high-level programming systems, notably through his work on FORTRAN, and for seminal publication of formal procedures for the specification of programming languages.

    Extractions: We didn't know what we wanted and how to do it. It just sort of grew. The first struggle was over what the language would look like. Then how to parse expressions - it was a big problem and what we did looks astonishingly clumsy now.... John Backus on the invention of FORTRAN Necessity, says the adage, is the mother of invention. Yet some inventors are motivated less by necessity than by sheer irritation at the messiness or inefficiency of the way things are. John Backus is such an inventor. He played an inspirational role in three great creations: FORTRAN, the first high level programming language; Backus-Naur Form, which provides a way to describe grammatical rules for high level languages; and lastly a functional programming language called FP, which advocates a mathematical approach to programming. Today, each of his inventions drives research and commercial agendas throughout the planet. Yet Backus's own life is one of restless energy - from his youth through his retirement. A distaste for inefficiency seems to run in the family. Before World War I, Backus's father had risen from a modest background to the post of chief chemist for the Atlas Powder Company, a manufacturer of nitroglycerine to be used in explosives. His promotion came for good reason.

    Extractions: Famous since 1949 as the voice of cartoon character Mr Magoo , and later to become a star in the flesh with his portrayal of Thurston Howell III in Gilligan's Island , Jim Backus starred here in his own sitcom, syndicated around the United States in 1960-61 and screened in Britain only a few months later. He was cast as Mike O'Toole, the fast-talking owner of a New York-based news-reporting company, the Headline Press Service, trying to keep his business out of financial trouble and ahead of competitors. As such, he often resorted to his former days as a journalist, going out to get the stories himself, being aided by his attractive secretary Dora, office boy Sidney and his 'supergrass' in the criminal fraternity, 'Fingers' Larkin. The series attempted to balance comedy and dramatic storylines, but rarely succeeded. In America it was also known as Press Time and Hot Off The Wire Researched and written by Mark Lewisohn.
