"Hartree's chief contribution to science was his development of powerful methods of numerical mathematical analysis, which made it possible for him to apply successfully the so-called self-consistent field method to the calculation of atomic wave functions of polyelectronic atoms, that is, those which in the neutral condition have more than one electron surrounding the nucleus. These calculations involved the numerical solution of the partial differential equations of quantum mechanics for many-body systems subject to the usual boundary conditions" (D. S. B. 6: 147). Chapter 12 is "Organization of Calculations for an Automatic Machine" (pp. 255-273).

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Hartree, Douglas R. "The ENIAC, an Electronic Computing Machine." Macmillan & Co., London, 1946. In "Nature", Vol 158. July - December, 1946. (52), 956pp, illustrations throughout the text, with the Hartree on pp 500-506, illustrated with three photos including the famous one appearing on page 501showing most of the machine. First printing of the "first paper on an electronic digital computer published in a large-circulation international scientific journal ["Nature"]."--Jeremy Norman's Origins of Cyberspace, 648. [++] The volume is fresh and clean though there are two binding semi-minor issues: first, the cloth boards are a bit thin for a book this size so the front board is slightly bowed. Second, the hinges are starting to break, though it is at this point the paper of the pastedowns and free endpapers that are broken (see pic). Overall, I'd say that this was still a Very Good copy (6/10) [++] The ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer built 1943-45) was the first large-scale, fully electronic, general-purpose digital computer to operate successfully. It was a decimal non-specific general purpose numerical machine, programmable by physical configuration (via plugboards, switch settings, cable routing). [++] Hartree writes a great introduction to the machine and then proceeds in explaining it to the advanced-general reader. The subheads include "two main classes f computing equipment"; "arithmetical processes, memory, and organisation"; general construction of the ENIAC"; accumulator"; "multiplier"; "divider and square rooter"; "function tables, input and output equipment"; "master programmer"; "set-up and use"; "examples". This is a very well organized and highly readable and important paper.

Hardcover. Condition: very good. first edition. First printing of this critical work in the history of computing and a foundational text that launched a circulation through an international scientific journal. In "Nature", Vol 158. October - December, 1946. Entire volume offred with ENIAC [Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer] article Pp. 500-506. [Entire volume: Pp. 459-956]. Hartree, a British mathematician, first learned of ENIAC in 1945, when he saw the as-yetuncompleted machine during a visit to the Moore School at the University of Pennsylvania. It was here that this first general-purpose Turing complete digital electronic computer, was built between 1943 and 1946. The first computer course was given at the Moore School in Summer 1946, leading to an explosion in computer development all over the world. Hartree was a participant in the lectures, advising on nonmilitary uses of the ENIAC while being the first Englishman to work with the machine. Later, Hartree helped stimulate the development of more powerful computers like Cambridge University's EDSAC. The ENIAC was 10 feet high, and 3 deepand contained 18,000 vacuum tubes, about 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, and 6,000 switches. It consumed 140 kilowatts, so much power that when operated the lights in a nearbytown dimmed. Royal 8vo bound in contemporary cloth.

1st Edition. FIRST EDITION OFFPRINT OF DOUGLAS HARTREE'S DEVELOPMENT OF THE "SELF-CONSISTENT FIELD METHOD TO THE CALCULATION OF ATOMIC WAVE FUNCTIONS OF POLYELECTRONIC ATOMS" (Dictionary of Scientific Biography, VI, 147). "Hartree played a fundamental role in the field of twentieth-century numerical analysis and its application to theoretical physics" (ibid). "The mid- to late 1920s was a time of great change and excitement in theoretical physics, and Hartree was becoming a well-known figure in the field. When news of Erwin Schrödinger's work on wave mechanics reached Cambridge, Hartree was ideally placed to make a contribution.His experience of numerical integration of differential equations, gained during his ballistics work in World War I, was invaluable. Hartree was able to develop and apply numerical techniques to the solution of increasingly complex atomic structures" (ibid). By 1939 and with the publication of this paper, Hartree made "his chief contribution to science. his development of powerful methods of numerical mathematical analysis, which made it possible for him to apply successfully the so-called self-consistent field method to the calculation of atomic wave functions of polyelectronic atoms, that is, those which in the neutral condition have more than one electron surrounding the nucleus. These calculations involved the numerical solution of the partial differential equations of quantum mechanics for many-body systems subject to the usual boundary conditions. From the atomic wave functions it is possible to calculate the average distribution of negative electric charge as a function of distance from the nucleus. If the distribution has been correctly found for all the electrons in the atom under study, the electric field due to this distribution should lead to the original distribution, in which case the field is called self-consistent" (ibid). Note that one of the co-authors, Bertha Swirles, was a British physicist who carried out research on quantum theory, particularly in its early days. CONDITION & DETAILS: Complete. 4to.
