Computing in the 20’s-40’s Punch cards – 30’sAnalog computers – 20-30’s Vannevar MIT First electronic computer, ENIAC

World War II The Manhattan ProjectBreaking the Enigma

Claude Shannon ( ) 1937: MIT Master’s thesis: compute any function using switches. 1940: Completes his MIT PhD under Vannevar Bush, and goes to the Institute for Advanced Study. WWII: Crypto at Bell Labs, talks to Turing. 1948: Paper that starts information theory. 1956: Professor at MIT.

Richard Hamming ( ) WWII: Programs one of the earliest computers for the Manhattan Project. 1946: At Bell, together with Shannon. 1950: Paper that starts error correcting codes. What are the most important problems in your field? Are you working on one of them?
