Edsger W. Dikjstra was originally from Holland, and while working his way through college, decided to devote more time to programming and less to theoretical physics, eventually becoming a early programmer in the just-developing profession. He was a professor in the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. It isn't very clear what his connection was to Burroughs. From the description of Edsger Wybe Dijkstra papers, 1971-1979. (University of Minnesota, Min...

Edsger Wybe Dijkstra (1930-2002) was a teacher and researcher of computer science. Dijkstra is known for connecting mathematical logic to computer programming, as well as for general contributions to mathematical methodology. Born in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, in 1930, Dijkstra earned degrees in mathematics and theoretical physics from the University of Leyden and a Ph. D. in computing science from the University of Amsterdam. He worked as a programmer (1952-1962) and p...
