Burks was a senior engineer on the team that developed the ENIAC, the world's first general-purpose electronic computer. A rather monumental paper. "The ENIAC performs the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square-rooting, and the looking up of function values automatically. ... The technique of combining the basic electronic circuits to perform these functions is illustrated by three typical computing circuits: the addition circuit, a programming circuit, and the multiplication circuit" [p. 756]. Very Good-. Light shelf/edge wear, touch of foxing at the front wrapper, small owner address sticker, else tight, bright, and unmarred. Printed paper wrappers. 4to. 70pp. plus adverts. Illus. (b/w plates). Item #11063
