Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book documents the development of ENIAC, the first programmable electronic computer, focusing on a group of women employed as programmers. These women, overlooked by historians for decades, played a crucial role not solely by helping to create programs for a powerful analytical tool for the war effort, but also by broadening the role of women in technology, math and science. Delving deep into mathematical and engineering concepts, the author incorporates details of the ENIAC’s complex construction and capabilities alongside the stories and contributions of its programmers. This book offers a thrilling account of the birth of the modern computer and the previously untold origins of women's role in scientific research, highlighting the challenges these women overcame, the unrecognized mathematical brilliance they wielded, and the legacy they forged. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
