Essential words from one of the fathers of modern computers
1 July 2011
Format:Hardcover
I found this book fascinating. I originally sought it out because it has a reprint of "First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC", which is the first place that von Neumann laid out his conception of computing. The book also contains reprint of a synopsis of von Neumann's first computer program by Donald Knuth, as well as other sections on flow diagrams, "high-speed computing", and automata theory.
If you are interested in the history of computing, and are at least somewhat mathematically inclined, you will find original works of interest here. I think both qualities are necessary to get much out of the book.
