Extractions: THE ACE, THE 'BRITISH NATIONAL COMPUTER' At the close of the second world war there was some feeling amongst scientists at the Ministry of Supply that a National Mathematical Laboratory should be established to coordinate facilities and techniques relating to machine-aided computation. The practical outcome of this feeling was the establishment in the summer of 1945, of a Mathematics Division in the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) at Teddington, Middlesex. Amongst the father-figures associated with this event were Professor D. R. Hartree of Manchester University and (from October 1946) Cambridge University, and Dr L. J. Comrie, founder of the Scientific Computing Service in London. Hartree was the chief link between British and American computing efforts in the immediate post-war years; both he and Comrie had accumulated a great deal of experience on mechanical and electro-mechanical calculators. As far as building a stored-program computer, the initial enthusiasm came largely from a group of people who had been involved with the COLOSSUS deciphering activity at Bletchley Park. In particular, amongst the Bletchley team which disbanded in the autumn of 1945 were the mathematicians Professor Max Newman and Dr Alan Turing, and the Post Office engineers T. H. Flowers and Dr A. W. M. Coombs. In October 1945 Newman moved to Manchester University, where he wished to set up a 'calculating machine laboratory'.
DIFFERENTIAL ANALYZER

http://scoter2.union.edu/~hemmendd/Encyc/Articles/Difanal/difanal.html

Extractions: For articles on related subjects see ANALOG COMPUTER; BUSH, VANNEVAR; DIGITAL COMPUTERS: HISTORY: EARLY; and HARTREE, DOUGLAS. In a paper published in the Journal of the Franklin Institute in 1931, Vannevar Bush described a machine (Fig. 1) that had been constructed under his direction at M.I.T. for the purpose of solving ordinary differential equations. He christened the machine a differential analyzer . This was what would now be called an "analog" computer, and was based on the use of mechanical integrators that could be interconnected in any desired manner. The integrator was in essence a variable-speed gear, and took the form of a rotating horizontal disk on which a small knife-edged wheel rested. The wheel was driven by friction, and the gear ratio was altered by varying the distance of the wheel from the axis of rotation of the disk. The principle is illustrated in Fig. 2. The use of mechanical integrators for solving differential equations had been suggested by Kelvin, and various special-purpose integrating devices were constructed at various times. Bush's differential analyzer was, however, the first device of sufficiently general application to meet a genuine need, and in the period immediately before and during World War II quite a number of these devices were constructed. The one shown in Fig. 4 was installed at the Mathematical Laboratory in Cambridge, England. The integrators and torque amplifiers can be clearly seen in Fig. 4, together with the system of shafting used for effecting the connections. Changing the problem was a job for someone who did not mind hands covered in oil. The output table on which the results were plotted directly in graphical form can be seen in Fig. 4, which also shows a number of similar tables that were used for input, an operator being employed to turn a handle so that a cursor followed a curve. It is a comment on the primitive state of automatic control in the period in question that automatic curve-following devices were not provided until later. The accuracy attainable in a single integrator was about one part in three thousand, but of course a lower accuracy was to be expected in the solution.
Eponyms

http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/gswithenbank/eponyms.htm

Extractions: Eponyms An eponym is a word derived from the name of a real, fictional, mythical or spurious character or person. Most eponyms originate from a person's surname: boycott , for instance, from the Irish landlord Captain Charles Cunningham Boycott; dahlia , from the Swedish botanist Anders Dahl; the sousaphone , from the American bandmaster John Philip Sousa; and volt , from the Italian physicist Count Alessandro Volta. Many eponymous words come from literary, biblical or mythological sources: malapropism , from Mrs Malaprop in Sheridan's The Rivals Dickensian , from the English writer Charles Dickens; as old as Methuselah , from the age of the Old Testament patriarch; and aphrodisiac , from the Greek goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite. There are thousands of eponyms in everyday use in English today and study of them yields a fascinating insight into the rich heritage of the world's most popular language and its development. Here are some more examples of names that have been immortalised in such a way. A B C D ... W X Y Z A Aaron's beard/rod Aaron, brother of Moses

Extractions: Charlotte Froese Fischer Charlotte Froese Fischer obtained both a B.A. degree, with honors in Mathematics and Chemistry, and an M.A. degree in Applied Mathematics from the University of British Columbia in 1952 and 1954, respectively. She then went to Cambridge University where she obtained a Ph. D. in applied mathematics and computing in 1957. There she worked with Douglas R. Hartree, programming the first Electronic Digital Stored program Automatic Computer (EDSAC) for atomic structure calculations. Dr. Fischer served on the Mathematics faculty of the University of British Columbia from 1957 - 68 where she introduced numerical analysis and computer courses into the curriculum and was instrumental in the formation of the Computer Science Department. She served as Professor of Applied Analysis and Computer Science at the University of Waterloo (1968 - 75), Professor of Computer Science at Pennsylvania State University (1974 - 79). She and her husband, Patrick C. Fischer, came to Vanderbilt University in 1980. Dr. Fischer has served as Editor for a number of journals. She served as an Atomic Structure Editor for Computer Physics Communications from 1968 - 1998.

Oughtred's was circular, but here's a straight on by Robert Bissaker (1654). : Wilhelm Schickard of Tuebingen, Wuerttemberg (now part of Germany), produced a 6-digit machine called the "Calculating Clock". It can add and subtract and indicates overflow by ringing a bell (allowing 7-digit calculations by counting the overflow). The device was reconstructed in 1960 and found to work. : Blaise Pascal created a 5-digit calculator, the "Pascaline", but it cannot subtract and is more complex than Schickard's machine. Pascal sold somewhere between 10 and 15 of these machines, some capable of 8 digits.
