Origins and Foundations of Computing In Cooperation with Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum /

The book examines how intellectual developments in logic and mathematics were gradually matched by technical solutions in first mechanics and then electronics, and how the resulting machines found application in engineering, science and business. The author was among the pioneers of computing scienc...
