Jun 11, 2024 · John Vincent Atanasoff, American physicist, who with his graduate student Clifford Berry developed the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC; 1937–42), a machine capable of solving differential equations using binary arithmetic and one of the first electronic digital computers.
5 days ago · John Vincent Atanasoff and Clifford E. Berry of Iowa State University developed the Atanasoff–Berry Computer (ABC) in 1942, the first binary electronic digital calculating device. This design was semi-electronic (electro-mechanical control and electronic calculations), and used about 300 vacuum tubes, with capacitors fixed in a mechanically ...
Jun 24, 2024 · In 1941, John Vincent Atanasoff, professor of physics and mathematics at Iowa State University, alongside one of his graduate students, Clifford Berry, designed the first digital electronic computer in the U.S.

Leader of an Iowa State University (then College) developed project resulting in the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC), Atanasoff stands as a critical pioneer of the digital age.
3 days ago · 1939: John Vincent Atanasoff (physicist and inventor), alongside his graduate student assistant Clifford Berry, created the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) with a grant of $650 at Iowa State University. The ABC weighed over 700 pounds and could solve up to 29 simultaneous linear equations.
Jun 13, 2024 · John Vincent Atanasoff and Clifford E. Berry designed the first digital computer in 1942. The computer would accept two linear equations at a time with up to 29 variables and a constant. Then, it...
Jun 9, 2024 · The Atanasoff-Berry Computer, named after its inventors John Vincent Atanasoff and Clifford Berry, was built during the late 1930s and early 1940s. It was designed to solve complex calculations and perform logical operations using electronic switches.
