This book is a study of how scientific computation developed in
British universities, the scientific civil service, and the armed
services during the period 1900-1950. It describes the emergence of
computing laboratories in Britain, along with the machines and
personalities involved. British computational work is examined from
an organizational perspective and the concept of centralized
computing power is discussed. Computing methods used up to the
1950s ranged from the use of mathematical tables, via slide rules
and other mathematical instruments, to desk calculating machines,
accounting machines, differential analysers, and early computers.
