John Backus Logro Como projectleader con IBM Juan Backus se convirtió en los comienzos de los años 50 con su equipo: FORTRAN - Traductor Del Fórmula. El primer lenguaje de programación del alto nivel. Esta lengua se utiliza lo más extensamente posible en la física y la ingeniería. Él era también responsable de la forma de Backus-Naur (o de BNF), una notación estándar que se puede utilizar al decribe el sytanx de un lenguaje de programación en una manera formal e inequívoca. Biografía Juan Backus nació en Philadelphia en 1924, y creció para arriba cerca allí en Wilmington, Delaware. Su familia era rica, y Backus atendió a la escuela prestigiosa en Pottstown, Pennsylvania de la colina. Él no era un buen estudiante, y sus años en la escuela de la colina fueron marcados por una serie de faltas. Los grados y la atención pobres a pesar expediente, Backus graduaron de la escuela de la colina en 1942 y entraron en la universidad de Virginia. Su padre, contemporáneamente químico, deseado le al comandante en química. Backus estudió la química para un rato, y gozó de los aspectos teóricos de la ciencia, pero él tuvo aversión el trabajo del laboratorio. Para el final de su segundo semestre, su atención de la clase cayó a una vez por semana, y las autoridades de la escuela lo expelieron. Él ensambló a ejército en 1942. Backus servido como cabo a cargo de un equipo antiaéreo en la fortaleza Stewart, Georgia, pero su funcionamiento en una prueba de aptitud cambió el curso de su carrera militar cuando el ejército decidía alistarlo en un programa de la pre-ingenieri'a en la universidad de Pittsburgh. Otra prueba de aptitud, este vez para las habilidades médicas, aterrizado le en la universidad de Haverford, donde él estaba estudiar la medicina.

Marion Reynolds was assisted in compiling the family data by Mrs. Anna Rippier . Many records of the family can be found in the Norwich CT town records. The RFA is fortunate to have had the assistance of Pat Daniels of Desert Hot Springs, CA in updating the information on the descendants of John and Sarah. The First Geneation This genealogy is an account of John and Sarah ( Backus Reynolds and their descendants. Their history is associated with the early southern Connecticut towns of Saybrook, Lyme and Norwich. We do not know anything of John prior to 1659, but it seems probable that he was born in England between 1615 and 1635.

(1925 – 1996) Demo Access Seymour R. Cray was an American electronics engineer and computer scientist, known during a career that lasted from the pioneer days of computing in the 1950s through the 1990s as the foremost designer and innovator in the area of high-performance supercomputing. For a period of approximately 20 years beginning in 1963, Cray was repeatedly able to design the world's fastest computers in spite of better-funded efforts by rival IBM. Cuban, Mark (1959 - ) Demo Access Mark Cuban was among the last of the classic success stories of the 1990s technology boom, becoming one of the richest men in the U.S. as a result of two startup firms. The first, Microsystems, Inc., made him a millionaire and the second, Broadcast.com, made him a billionaire when Yahoo! purchased the company in July 1999. With the proceeds from the Broadcast sale, Cuban became something of a celebrity with the purchase of his favorite sports team, the Dallas Mavericks of the National Basketball Association. As the Maverick’s flamboyant owner, Cuban is setting NBA records with more than $1 million in fines for criticizing the league’s officials.

dvi usdvi tgz oc-FP: An OCAML implementation of John Backus' FP system Christophe Deleuze John Backus' FP system In its 1977 ACM Turing award lecture [ ], John Backus presents a functional style of programming, which he calls ``FP''. He explains how classical imperative programming languages suffer from what he calls ``the Von Neumann bottleneck'' and describes a programming style based on combining functions through functional forms . An excerpt from the abstract is: Functional programs deal with structured data, are often nonrepetitive and nonrecursive, are hierarchically constructed, do not name their arguments, and do not require the complex machinery of procedure declarations to become generally applicable. Moreover, such programs are actually objects of an algebra whose composition laws are functional forms. Various properties on programs can thus be proved by use of college algebra. I won't detail these points, these are clearly explained in Backus' paper, which is really worth a read for anyone with an interest on programming. The first few sections are particularly enlighting and easy to follow. In addition to the FP system, Backus describes ``FFP systems'' similar to FP systems but where in addition to new functions, new functional forms can also be defined. He then describes a

This Week Inventor Archive Inventor Search Inventor of the Week Archive Browse for a different Invention or Inventor Fortran John Backus developed Fortran, or Formula Translator, one of the first general purpose, high-level computer programming languages. This widely used language made computers practical, accessible machines for scientists and others without requiring them to have deep knowledge of the machinery. Backus was born in Philadelphia on Dec. 3, 1924 and grew up in Wilmington, Delaware. His affluent family sent him to the prestigious Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, but he was not a particularly disciplined student, and his grades were poor. Nevertheless, he graduated in 1942 and attended the University of Virginia. He was expelled during his freshman year for poor attendance and joined the U.S. Army. While in the Army, Backus performed well on an aptitude test for medical skills and was sent to Haverford College to study medicine. Meanwhile he was diagnosed and treated for an operable brain tumor. He continued to study medicine at Flower and Fifth Avenue Medical School in New York but just nine months later he dropped out. Unsure of what he wanted to do with his life, he rented an apartment in New York and thought he would learn how to build a hi-fi set for himself. He enrolled at a radio technician’s school. It was there that he discovered his aptitude for mathematics. Shortly thereafter Backus enrolled at Columbia University to study math. He completed his degree in 1949 and was hired by IBM in 1950 to work on the Selective Sequence Electronic Calculator (SSEC), one of IBM’s early electronic computers. He worked on the project for three years. Early on, part of his job was to attend the machine and fix it when and if it stopped running. Programming the machine was difficult, as there was no organized system of doing it. Backus invented a program he called Speedcoding to streamline the process. The program included a "scaling factor," which allowed numbers of all sizes to be easily stored and manipulated.
