About Howard Aiken He studied on the University of Madison. Obtained his Doctorate from Harvard in 1939. As a graduate student from Harvard he was at the same time the Instructor for the department of Physics, where he began to planned to build a large computer. His research in computers led to a system of deferential equations, which had no exact solutions and could only be solved using mathematical techniques. He made: The ASCC (Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator) in IBM laboratories, and computers Mark I, Mark II, Mark III. About Howard Aiken Presented by: Edward Nunez
