    Extractions: Eckert, from Pennsylvania, worked with John Mauchly to build the first general-purpose electronic digital computer, called ENIAC. ENIAC stood for Electronic Integrator and Computer. ENIAC was completed after World War II, but it was designed during the war to figure out trajectories for bombs and shells. After the war, ENIAC was used in top-secret projects such as the development of nuclear weapons. ENIAC was quite a bit larger than most modern computers, about 7 feet high and 65 feet long (2.5 X 24 meters). It was 1,000 times faster than the processors that came before it. Following ENIAC, Eckert and Mauchly developed UNIVAC, the Universal Automatic Computer, which was the first computer that people could buy in the United States.

    Extractions: john mauchly and j. presper eckert were the inventors of eniac, widely considered the first electronic computer. with its grand unveiling in l946, that large, blinking contraption set the public's imagination reeling like never before would this machine really be able to take over human tasks? would there actually be use for such a thing? mauchly: the computer and the skateboard tells the story of what happens to the inventor as the huge potential of his invention begins to dawn on those around him: from the triumphant unveiling and first successful operations to the crushing blow of being stripped of the patent. co-directors jim reed, who is mauchly's grandson, and paul david weave archival footage together with interviews of mauchly's colleagues and friends to create an eclectic homage to mauchly and a new perspective on the history of computation. the backbone of the film is commentary by mauchly's widow kay, who was hired as a young mathematician to do calculations on the brand new eniac and fell in love with its inventor. one of the original "women of the eniac "the world's first computer programmers she shares her lucid understanding of computer history along with intimate biographical anecdotes to provide an insider's picture of the project's genesis and progression. the film's cast of characters also includes former colleagues and students from the university of pennsylvania, ursinus, the smithsonian institution, the eckert-mauchly company, sperry rand, and iowa state university. the title comes from recollections by mauchly's former ursinus students of a professor who zipped around the classroom on a homemade, jet-propelled skateboard in order to demonstrate newton's laws of motion.

    Extractions: John Louis von Neumann Born 28 December 1903, Budapest, Hungary; Died 8 February 1957, Washington DC; Brilliant mathematician, synthesizer, and promoter of the stored program concept, whose logical design of the IAS became the prototype of most of its successors - the von Neumann Architecture.

During 1936 through 1938 Alan Turing was a graduate student in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton and did his dissertation under Alonzo Church. Von Neumann invited Turing to stay on at the Institute as his assistant but he preferred to return to Cambridge; a year later Turing was involved in war work at Bletchley Park. This visit occurred shortly after Turing's publication of his 1934 paper "On Computable Numbers with an Application to the Entscheidungs-problem" which involved the concepts of logical design and the universal machine. It must be concluded that von Neumann knew of Turing's ideas, though whether he applied them to the design of the IAS Machine ten years later is questionable.

Presper Eckert are the scientists credited with the invention of the Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer (ENIAC), the first general-purpose electronic digital computer, completed in 1946. Mauchly was born August 30, 1907 in Cincinnati, Ohio. His father was a physicist at the Carnegie Institute of Washington, D.C., and perhaps influenced by him, young Mauchly became adept in the sciences. This earned him the Engineering Scholarship of the State of Maryland, which enabled him to enroll at Johns Hopkins University in the fall of 1925 as an undergraduate in the Electrical Engineering program. In 1927 he enrolled directly in a Ph.D. program there and transferred to the graduate physics program of the university. He completed his Ph.D. in 1932 and became a professor of physics at Ursinus College near Philadelphia. J. Presper Eckert Jr. was born April 9, 1919 in Philadelphia. In 1937 he entered the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania and graduated in 1941. Afterwards he was given a post as an instructor at the Moore School. Meanwhile, in 1941, Mauchly had become a student there in a new program designed to educate students on defense technology. Eckert was one of his teachers.

    Extractions: A significant event had occurred in 1941, when Atanasoff received a colleague, John W. Mauchly, into his home as a guest. Mauchly had expressed great interest in the work Atanasoff was doing relating to computer technology and had enthusiastically accepted Atanasoff's invitation. It is important to ask exactly what transpired during this visit between Atanasoff and Mauchly, since the events that resulted from the time they spent together are now etched in history. The facts were examined in detail at a judicial hearing 26 years later, when the courts had to decide whether John W. Mauchly and John P. Eckert had unlawfully made use of Atanasoff's invention when they developed the ENIAC computer between 1942 and 1946. Before this time, the ENIAC had been recognized as the first electronic computer, but the facts of the case would prove otherwise. The following facts were established during the court hearings: J. Mauchly had stayed as a guest at Atanasoff's home in Ames from June 13 to June 18, 1941.
