HIGHLIGHTS OF MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER

Mathematics and computer
Mathematician, physicists and engineers contributed to the development of computer and computer science. But the early theoretical work came from mathematics.English mathematician Aln Turing working in Cambridge university,introduced the idea of a machine that could perfom mathematics operation and solve equations. The Turin machine,as it became was a precursor of modern computer.through his work turing brought together the elements that form the basis of a computer science. Symbolic logic, numerical, analysis, electrical engineering, and a mechanical visiom of human thought processes.
   Computer theory is the third area with which von nwumann is associated in addition to mathematical physics and game theory. He established the basic principle on which computer operates. Turing and von Neumann boyh recognised the usefulness of the binary arithmetic system for storing computer programmes.
   The first large scale digit computer were pioneered in the 1940's Von neumann automatic completed the EDVAC Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic computers at the institute of Advance study in 1945.Engineer John Eckert and john mauchly built EBUAC (Electronic numerical integrator and calculator) which begin opration at the university of pennysliania in 1946.As increasingly complex computer are built, the field of artificial intelligence has drawn attention researcher in this field attempt to develop computer systems that can mimic human thought processes

Mathematics formed an alliance with economics in the 20th century as the tools of mathematical analysis, algebra, Probability, and statistics illuminated economic theories. A Speciality called econometrics links enormous members equations to form mathematical models of use as forecasting tools. Game theory began in mathematics but had immediate applications in economics and military strategy. This type of mathematics deals with situations in which some sort of decision must be made to maximize a profit that is,to win. It is theoretical foundations were supplied by von Newman in series of papers writing during the 1930's and 1940's. Von Newman an Economist Oskar Morgensen published result of their investigations in the theory of games and economic behaviors (1944). John Nash a princeton mathematician profiled in the motion pictures A Beautiful mind, share 1994 noble Price in economics for his work in game theory.
