About the event

Gallery Talk: Computing at MIT - Dynamic Machines

Computation and Engineering are inextricably linked... the more we can compute, the larger the problems we can solve.

Join software archaeologist Guy Fedorkow for a short tour of history of computing at MIT, with stops in the 1940s with Vannevar Bush's mechanical Differential Analyzer, the 1950's with MIT's Whirlwind digital computer, and the 1960's with the Apollo Guidance Computer.

Free with museum admission.
