内容简介

In order to help gunners aim their artillery correctly, John Mauchly and Presper Eckert developed the Electric Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) during World War II. This book is an introduction to the feuding researchers and inventors who made the computer possible, from the huge early models to the creation of the microchip and beyond.
