Advances in Computers 1962 №03

Academic Press, 1962. - 361 pages.The editors of Advances in Computers have been joined by Morris Rubinoff. This addition, whose effect will be more fully felt in future volumes, is expected to strengthen still further the tendency to broad coverage of different aspects of the computer field, a tendency which has guided us in the earlier volumes and which is demanding increased emphasis as the field is being split into more and more areas of specialization.
In the present volume are represented applications, both scientific and data processing; methods, both of numerical analysis and of computer programming; and engineering considerations in computer selection. Taken together with the articles on artificial intelligence, logical design, components and others appearing in the earlier volumes, these contributions appear to constitute a fully representative sample of computer science and technology. We hope that they will be taken as an antidote to specialization.Conte S.D.The Computation of Satellite Orbit Trajectories
