- Abstract
The article discusses the increasing computational demands brought on by the Second World War, which led to the invention of high-speed automatic computers. The computers being used during the war included the Bush Differential Analyzer, the Electronic Numerical Integrator, or the ENIAC, the IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator, the Bell Telephone Laboratories Relay Computer, and the Variable Computer, or the EDVAC. Revised computational procedure involved derivation of new formulas, improvement in matrix estimation and determination of errors, resulting in the formation of new statistics. It is found that since the cost of these machines is very high, it is advisable to involve it in problems having huge masses of data.
