Learn Lesson in our Computer I

First I'd would like to thank our Computer Adviser Ms. Joan Pinon. Mam thank you for teaching us in our first semester. I have many experiences and knowledge full up my mind. Some lessons that ive learn is binary number system in order to appreciate how the computer works. Since the computer works with the binary number system and since it is relatively easy to convert hexadecimal (base 16) and octal numbers (base 8) into binary, computer scientists need to be familiar with the octal and hexadecimal number systems.

ENIAC: The Army-Sponsored Revolution" , by William T. Moye. An executive summary of the history of computing. A complete and concise presentation of the origins of the BRL and the ENIAC, with names, places, and dates. (4 pages)

The ENIAC Story , by Martin H. Weik. The world's first production electronic digital computer was developed by Army Ordnance to compute World War II ballistic firing tables. This is the story of that computer. (6 pages)
Electronic Computers Within the Ordnance Corps , by Karl Kempf. This historical monograph covers the pioneer efforts and subsequent contributions of the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps in the field of automatic electronic computing systems during the period 1942 through 1961, including pre-electronic computing devices, ENIAC, EDVAC, ORDVAC, and BRLESC. It also discusses the use of computers for solving gunnery problems, and provides a "family tree" of early computers. (140 pages in 7 chapters and 9 appendices)
A Report on the ENIAC , by Adele Goldstine, 1946. The original technical description of the ENIAC, including diagrams and several (pre-von Neumann) ENIAC "programs".
"A Logical Coding System Applied to the ENIAC" , by R. F. Clippinger. Ballistic Research Laboratories Report No. 673. The document describing how the ENIAC was made programmable. "In the Spring of 1947, J. von Neumann suggested to the author that it would be possible to run the ENIAC in a way very different from the way contemplated when it was designed; a way which had very important advantages to be discussed below." "It is hoped by the author that this report will make the task of coding problems so clear and straightforward that physicists, aerodynamicists, applied mathematicians, etc. with no prior experience with computing machines can code their own problems...."

"Computers at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School, 1943-1946" , by Herman H. Goldstine A description of the people, missions, and personalities that came together in the ENIAC project. Told from the point of view of then-Lieutenant Goldstine who, with the help of his superior officer, sponsored a development program at the Moore School looking toward the production of an electronic digital computer for the BRL. ENIAC was the result. (6 pages)
