Pioneer of mainframe computing; designed IBM 704; chief architect of IBM System/360. [4] [5] Formulated Amdahl's law; also worked on IBM 709 and IBM 7030 Stretch. [6] 1939 Atanasoff, John: Built the first electronic digital computer, the Atanasoff–Berry Computer, though it was neither programmable nor Turing-complete. 1822, 1837 Babbage, Charles
The history of computer science began long before the modern discipline of computer science, usually appearing in forms like mathematics or physics. Developments in previous centuries alluded to the discipline that we now know as computer science. [ 1 ]

The full version of Turing's ACE was not built until after his death. [135] According to the memoirs of the German computer pioneer Heinz Billing from the Max Planck Institute for Physics, published by Genscher, Düsseldorf, there was a meeting between Turing and Konrad Zuse. [136] It took place in Göttingen in 1947. The interrogation had the ...
In 1953, more than a century after her death, Ada Lovelace's notes on Babbage's Analytical Engine were republished as an appendix to B. V. Bowden's Faster than Thought: A Symposium on Digital Computing Machines. [78] The engine has now been recognised as an early model for a computer and her notes as a description of a computer and software. [65]
