Abstract

The stored-program digital computer has been in existence for about a decade and has proven itself to be a powerful and versatile instrument. Roughly speaking, any solvable problem can be solved by a digital computer. At many tasks, such as the solution of systems of linear equations, these machines are thousands of times as fast as human beings.
