Description
The electronic digital computer has perhaps had more effect on people around the world than any other device invented by twentieth-century man. Our lives are being influenced by these machines, and in many cases are actually dependent on them. A decade ago, only a handful of teachers, scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and businessmen really understood the computer and its application to contemporary problems. The purpose of this book is to show the almost unbelievably wide range of computer applications. Medicine, law, engineering, transportation, business, and education are only a few of the fields in which the computer has become a vital tool.
