Discussions on the high-speed computer program include test control design, core storage unit, magnetic drums and tapes, paper tapes, slow circuits, exponent and main arithmetic units, flow charts for arithmetic control, and speedindependent designs. Work done in the circuit research program includes flow-gating systems tests and two-wire low swing circuits. Mathematical methods are described for experiments with a floating-point differential equation solver. Switching circuit theory developments involve simplification techniques for Boolean functions, estimates of the maximum number of prime implicants in Booleans functions oi N variables, a formal algebra for linear graphs, and a technique for obtaining all maximum nodal normal subgraphs of a linear graph. Automatic reduction methods are described for bubble chamber photographic data. The operation, programming, and usages of the ILLIAC and the IBM-650 are described.
