J. Presper Eckert

Mauchly and a young University of Pennsylvania professor, Presper Eckert, proposed an “electric numerical analyzer” which would greatly decrease the time needed to calculate long equations. Mauchly said in a University of Pennsylvania memo: “a great gain in the speed of calculation can be obtained if the devices which are used employ electronic means for the performance of the calculations, because the speed of such devices can be made very much higher than the that of any mechanical device” (Mauchly 1). Colonel Paul N. Gillon and Captain Herman H. Goldstine pushed for the creation of such a device and a contract between the US Army and the Moore School of Electrical Engineering was signed in June 1943. Construction of the ENIAC began one year later in June 1944. Mauchly demonstrated leadership on the ENIAC by taking responsibility for the theoretical concepts and guiding his team to construct the computer at a very fast rate. Dr. Herman Goldstine took official control of the project after convincing the US Army to fund the project; however, Mauchly was responsible for actually completing the project. The war with Germany forced Mauchly to develop and build the ENIAC at a very fast pace. Mauchly designed the ENIAC while his partner and lead engineer of the project, Presper Eckert, implemented the concepts: “Mauchly was very much the visionary of the ENIAC 's use of mechanical and vacuum tube technologies. Eckert was the engineer of the project who solved it 's…

Segment [06:39-09:58] The inventors of Eniac, John Mauchly and Presper Eckert were reluctant to give up their dreams hence they started a computer company. Their first step was to find customers for their company. Eckert and Mauchly knew that their first customers were in the business community. The business community relied on punched card tabulating machines for record keeping and it was a tedious task. Eckert and Mauchly decided to sell their first computer to the U.S. census bureau. They…

Early Atomic Experiments Joseph John Thomson conducted an experiment that is known today as the CRT Experiment. The outcome of this experiment was JJ’s discovery of the electron. CRT is an acronym for Cathode Ray Tube, this gives a broad concept of what the experiment is about. The basic components of the experiment include, a glass cylindrical tube with most of the air inside vacuumed out of it, and inside the tube is Electrode for each side. One of the Electrodes is negative and entitled the…

Through the course of history society has been shaped by scientific discoveries that have benefitted mankind by providing a better understanding of the world and have advanced technology. One such scientist was Joseph John Thomson. Joseph John Thomson had a successful life, made important scientific discoveries, and impacted the world through his discoveries. Sir Joseph John Thomson was born on December 18, 1856 in Cheetham, a part of Manchester, England to Emma Swindells and Joseph James…

Phlogiston theory The phlogiston theory states that the every combustible substance on this planet contains phlogiston. When a combustible substance is burned, phlogiston is released into the air. The people behind the phlogiston theory believed that the whenever a substance sets on fire, the fire gives off phlogiston. The phlogiston was believed be the kind of gas which causes fire. Without phlogiston, the combustible substance won’t be able to set on fire. In the late 1660’s a scientist…

This paper discusses the life of Sir Joseph John Thomson (J.J. Thomson) and his scientific discoveries. It will also discuss how it has impacted our lives today and if we would have what we have today without his research and hard work. He was a shy boy who was gifted when it came to science. He lost his father when he was young but strived to have a better nonetheless. After becoming a Fellow of the Trinity, he started working with Lord Rayleigh and later became his successor. He found what…

than the rest of the students. When she was 14 she wrote her first songs called “butterflyz”. A record company was watching her closely and she ended up with a lot of people on her back and ended up bidding for her talents. She got a full scholarship to go to columbia university but only went four weeks and ending up dropping out because she wanted to follow her music career 100%. Alicia decided to work with Clive Davis which is an american record producer, A&R executive and music…

William says “I believe that’s how we came up with it,” while Jonathon claims the band’s name actually stems from their “shared interest in clipping coupons.” As far as musical influences go, the group may as well create their own Wikipedia article. As producers, Jonathon and William cite some of the “really specific production influences and references on CLPPNG (in no particular order) as: Autechre, Deathpile, Steve Albini, Karma Moffett, Steve Reich, John Cage, Philip Glass, Tangerine…

costumes of their favorite characters from Japanese movies, animations, dramas and TV shows. Finally, there is no doubt that Japanese pop music also has significant impacts in the world. Basically, J-pop is an abbreviated term for Japanese Pop, referring to a certain brand of Japanese music. Tracing its roots back to the earliest impacts of Western music in the 1950s, J-pop has developed to become one of the largest music categories in the world, impacting sounds and artists in plenty of Asian…

The fact of reality is that teenagers create the pop culture within each generation. With a new era of children, it brings forth new stories, fashion statements, ideas, and entertainment that was never heard before. Unique. Simple. It creates an undeniable growth as a humanity as we continuously make social and political change, learning from those before us. In comparison, the Great Generation is much different from Millennials, their history being different. Those who grow up within the era…
