Atanasoff, John Vincent (1903–1995)

US physicist and computer engineer, and co-developer of the ABC (Astanoff–Berry Calculator). Atanasoff, a professor of mathematics at Iowa State College, became interested in computing in the 1930s, and in 1939 he started to build a binary calculating machine with Clifford Berry, a graduate student in electrical engineering. He was visited by Dr John Mauchly, co-developer of ENIAC, in 1941, and explained the workings of his machine. Partly as a result of this, a US judge disallowed patents on the ENIAC in 1973.
