Description: Programming for Digital Computers by J.F. Davison 1967 This is a 2nd Edition hardback book published in 1967. It measures 5.5 x 8.5 inches in size, and is 214 pages long. It is in fine condition, with a dust jacket that is also in fine condition. On its inside dust flap, the book is described this way: Since the first edition of this book was published in 1960, computers have progressed rapidly in nearly every way and, in particular, the art of programming has become considerably more sophisticated. It has, therefore, been necessary to rewrite this book almost completely to bring it up to date. The aim of the book is to provide a guide to the writing of programs for digital computers and the various aspects of the subject are first examined in general terms and then considered in detail. The first three chapters explain the task of the programmer, set out the various stages of his work and show where his responsibilities begin and end. . . . A study of the scientific and technical applications of higher-level languages, and of their relation to commercial data processing, is followed by an extensive chapter on peripheral equipment, such as magnetic tape and discs, line printers, card readers and punches. Methods of operating computers and their various operational systems are then examined and a final chapter sets out the possible variations between different types of computers, with special reference to the present and rising generations of machines based on transistor and integrated-circuit technologiesand evaluates their comparative merits. The general trend of programming development is to make the use of computers easier for the non-expert, and this book aims to be completely intelligible to non-mathematicians, including those with no previous knowledge of programming. . . _gsrx_vers_1680 (GS 9.8.3 (1680))
