Originally published in 1960, as the second edition of a 1957
original, this textbook is aimed at those without advanced
mathematical training and provides a comprehensive introductory
account of digital computers, what they are capable of doing and
how they are made to do it. It begins with a discussion of
programming - the preparation of instructions for the computer.
This leads on to a consideration of systems of number storage, from
the simple decimal system of desk calculating machines to the
varieties of binary storage systems used in modern high-speed
computers. The final chapter considers points, which arise in
applying computers to engineering calculations, and gives details
of some of the problems already solved in this way. Throughout the
book the emphasis is on the applications of computers to routine
work rather than to advanced research. This book will be of value
to students of the history of computer science.
