Interview With J. Presper Eckert J.presper eckert (JPE) You know, when we were mad at this and couldn't get somethingto work, we used to call it the maniac. Interface with human beings http://americanhistory.si.edu/csr/comphist/eckert.htm
Extractions: National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution Peter Vogt February 2, 1988 David Allison (DKA): Let's go back to 1943 and the circumstances that surrounded the invention of this machine. How do you remember the environment? JPE: I don't know what you mean when you say how do I remember the environment. DKA: Was it a pressured environment? How was the problem originally presented to you? Peter Vogt: Why did they stop you? What was important about it that they put you on to? Set the stage for us. JPE: What happened is that during World War II, a number of large guns, field pieces, were sent over to Africa. Tables were sent with them, telling them where to set the dials on the gun to allow for the amount of wind blowing and the height of the elevation of the target, with the expectation that the shell would land where you wanted it to when you followed the prescription in the book. The shells did not land where you wanted them to. The people down there using these guns were having to make guesswork corrections on the tables to hit anything, not very satisfactory in the middle of a war. The trouble was traced to the fact that the ground was more resilient in Africa, due to the type of vegetational growth in the jungle.
John W. Mauchly And J. Presper Eckert from "Technology and Culture" (1982) on role of J. presper eckert and John Mauchly in developing ENIAC, EDVAC, BINAC, http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~mbsclass/hall_of_fame/mauchly.htm
Extractions: J. Prespers Eckert Table of Contents John W. Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert were the two principle inventors of the ENIAC computer,the first large-scale general-purpose electronic computer. ENIAC is an acronym for "Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer," built at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering.As a general-purpose computer to solve a wide range of calculations,this distinguished the ENIAC from earlier automated calculating machines designed for single problem-solving applications.They began the ENIAC in 1943 and completed the ENIAC in 1946.

Eckert_John Biography of J presper eckert (19191995) J presper eckert Jr. attended the William Penn Carter School in Germanstown. http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Eckert_John.html
Extractions: J Presper Eckert Jr. attended the William Penn Carter School in Germanstown. In 1937, after graduating from school, he entered the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania from where he graduated in 1941. Eckert, an outstanding electrical engineering student, was given a post as an instructor at the Moore School soon after his graduation. The Moore School was by this time heavily involved with research specifically directed towards the war effort. Eckert taught a defence course at the Moore School and one of his students on the course was John Mauchly . It might seem strange that Mauchly , who was twelve years older than Eckert, should be his student. Mauchly was already an established academic teaching physics but he became involved in defence training as part of his contribution to the war effort. Eckert quickly became interested in Mauchly's ideas for the development of computers and for a while the two discussed these ideas frequently. Soon, however, Eckert moved on to undertake other military work at the School. Ashurst [2] relates how Eckert was:- .... eventually involved with work on ultraviolet light and the development of the means to measure metal fatigue. Later, he went on to develop a method for measuring small magnetic fields to be used in detecting marine mines. He then went on to work on the electronics of radar and target locating and following equipment; these devices played a decisive part in weaponry, and their development and construction was considered to be of the very highest priority.

Extractions: Nació el 9 de abril de 1919 en Philadelphia (EE.UU.) y fue el único hijo de una prospera familia. Desde muy pequeño evidenció poseer aptitudes excepcionales para las matemáticas y mentalidad de inventor. En 1937, luego de graduarse del colegio privado William Penn Charter School, Eckert ingresó en la Universidad de Pennsylvania, donde se graduó de ingeniero eléctrico en 1941. Después de graduado, Eckert continuó trabajando en la Universidad y realizando estudios de postgraduado. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Eckert diseñó y construyó un dispositivo que permitía detectar cambios rápidos en pequeños campos magnéticos. Este dispositivo se utilizó ampliamente durante la guerra para desactivar las minas marítimas del enemigo. Otros de los inventos de Eckert estuvieron relacionados con los radares, y en ellos aplicó por primera vez conceptos digitales relacionados con contadores, a problemas de ingeniería electrónica. A la edad de 22 años, sirviendo de instructor en la Universidad para un grupo de alumnos, la mayoría de los cuales eran Ph.D (doctorados en su rama particular), conoció y trabó amistad con
