Coats January 2004 TABLE OF CONTENTS Persons Institution/Organization Names Subjects Series II: Logbooks In 1933, John von Neumann became a Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in the School of Mathematics. By the mid-1940s, Prof. von Neumann began concentrating on computing work and he was trying to raise support and secure space for building an electronic computing machine. Prof. von Neumann had to obtain permission from IAS to build something on premises because its commitment had been, and still is, firmly planted in the theoretical. Also, monetary support for the Electronic Computer Project (ECP) had to be found. While RCA Corporation was very involved in the beginning stages of the ECP, they did not contribute financially.

Extractions: (23 linear feet) Accession 1901 Hagley Museum and Library P.O. Box 3630 Wilmington, DE 19807-0630 Table of contents Abstract The Technitrol law suit, 1967-1968, revolved around the question of who developed the magnetic storage drum. These records, which were acquired from Seymour Yutter, the lawyer for Technitrol, include trial transcripts, briefs, depositions and discovery documents which describe the development of magnetic storage technology in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Background note: Technitrol, Inc. was incorporated on April 15, 1947, by John F. Koch, Jr., E. Stuart Eichert, Jr., Gordon Palmer, Jr., and T. K. Sharpless, as Technitrol Engineering Company. The corporation opened its doors to business on May 1st of the same year. The four founders provided the paid-in capital of $1,000. Their goal was to develop the new technology of high speed computation for military and industrial purposes. Prior to their full time work at Technitrol, Eichert, Koch, and Sharpless had been employed at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering, while Palmer had been Assistant Director of Research at International Register Company in Philadelphia.

Extractions: Pehr Anderson, Wenkai He, Yao Ma, Brian Slutz, Ken Lynch Introduction In The Structure of Scientific Revolutions , T. S. Kuhn proposes a model to explain the general pattern of scientific revolutions. In the Kuhnian model, science enters into a stage of normal science following the establishment of a paradigm (e.g., the Newtonian Physics). A paradigm in science serves three functions: 1, to provide a metaphysical worldview; 2, to provide analytical tools such as equations, criteria of problems and solutions, and unarticulated rules of game; 3, to provide an institutional system to recruit and train new members. Normal science is thus a process of accumulative problem-solving process. However, after many anomalies accumulate the paradigm begins to lose respectability and belief. People begin to actively search for a substitute to the old paradigm. When most members of the younger generation shift to a new paradigm, a revolution in science happens. After a successful revolution, a new kind of normal science makes its progress under the leadership of the new paradigm [Kuhn]. Is the Kuhnian model of scientific revolutions applicable to engineering revolutions? We try to answer this question in this essay by studying the history of a concrete case of engineering revolution, the magnetic core memory. As a new paradigm in computer memory technology which bases upon using the hysteresis loop of magnetic materials to store binary bits digitally, it distinguishes itself from the old cathode ray storage-tubes paradigm (including the Williams storage-tubes, the Selectron storage-tubes, and the electrostatic storage-tubes) which employs the analog-state cathode ray to store binary bits in the parallel-mode electronic digital computations. From the mid-1950's to the mid-1970, the magnetic core memory is the most important memory devices in the compute memory technology. Its inventor Jay W. Forrester is also elected to Inventors' Hall of Fame.

Extractions: The 100th anniversary of the birth of Mina Rees, the first president of The Graduate Center, was celebrated at a tea in the Dissertation Reading Room of the Mina Rees Library on August 5. (Her actual birthday was August 2.) On hand were distinguished guests, donors, and friends of The Graduate Center-including many who knew Rees personally and worked with her during the graduate school's formative years. President Frances Degen Horowitz spoke of Mina Rees as "a pioneer" and "an actor on the national stage" whose life's workfrom applied mathematics during World War II, to her encouragement of the development of the earliest computers, to her role in establishing doctoral education at CUNYis legendary. President Horowitz also announced the appointment of mathematician Victor Kolyvagin to the chair endowed by Rees's estate.

Aalborg, Denmark). Mathematics has for centuries been stimulated, financed and credited by military purposes. Some mathematical thoughts and mathematical technology have also been vital in war. During World War II mathematical work by the Anti-Hitler coalition was part of an aspiration to serve humanity and not help destroy it. At present, it is not an easy task to view the bellicose potentials of mathematics in a proper perspective. At the conference, we will present historical evidence and recent changes in the interaction between mathematics and the military. We will discuss the new mathematically enhanced development of military technology which seems to have changed the very character of modern warfare.

Atiyah (1929-) devotes quite some lines to the interrelations between science and military. He emphasizes that "the atomic bomb was unique in many respects, particularly in the speed with which a discovery in fundamental physics was put to use... No longer would scientists, conducting pure research for its own sake, be ignored on the grounds that their work was not relevant to the real world. The ivory tower was no longer a sanctuary..." He expresses his delight about "the large number of British scientists who publicly refused to have anything to do with the infamous 'Star Wars' research of the Reagan era. The British Government of the time encouraged our scientists to apply for American funds for this purpose, but many refused because they believed the whole project was scientifically doubtful, economically wasteful and politically destabilising." We consider here mathematics as a bellicose art. We address:
