So, how did the ENIAC, built between 1943 and 1945, steal the show? The answer lies with a missed patent opportunity on Iowa State College’s part and a scientist named John Mauchly.

ENIAC (1945) In 1943 the United States Army funded a computer project led by two University of Pennsylvania engineers, John Mauchly and John Presper Eckert, Jr. The goal was to create an ...

But, ENIAC had no internal storage and had to be programmed manually for each new operation. Five years later, J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly created the first American general-purpose electronic, ...

In 1941 Mauchly himself had discussed the field with an Iowa State professor named John V. Atanasoff, who had plans to build his own huge calculating machine (but never completed the task).

It was in April 1943 that the proposal for an electronic computer, which would go on to become the world’s first general purpose computer, was submitted. A.S.Ganesh takes a look at the ENIAC and ...

McNulty worked on ENIAC until 1948, when she married John Mauchly, one of the brains behind the computer.

The name of the computer was ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer). It was built at The University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) by John Mauchly and Presper Eckert Jr. and introduced on ...
