After the development of the ENIAC was announced in 1946, the Moore School of Electrical Engineering held a special course to meet the demand for information about electronic computers. The course was held from July 8 to August 31, 1946, and it featured lecturers and students who later became prominent in the history of computing. Among the students was Frank M. Verzuh, who took detailed notes of all the scheduled lectures. The course, which focused on the EDVAC and ENIAC, has become known as th...

The catalyst which advanced electrical engineering and the computer beyond the differential analyzer and to the ENIAC was the demands of the Army during the 1930s and particularly the Second World War. The practical need which the differential analyzer could not solve effectively was the preparation of firing tables and charts which showed how to aim artillery accurately. Too many people and too much time were required to prepare these tables. The federal government was willing to f...
