 Kenneth E. Iverson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As an assistant professor at Harvard, Iverson developed a mathematical notation for manipulating arrays that he taught to his students.
In 1960, he began work for IBM and working with Adin Falkoff, created APL based on the notation he had developed.

Falkoff and Iverson describe the next series of steps in a rapid summary: When the work on the formal description of System/360 was finished in 1964 we turned our attention to the problem of implementation.
Iverson and Falkoff were teaching at that time at the IBM Systems Research Institute in New York City (forty miles away), and were able to use the implementation (called IVSYS) on TSM in their classes.
He had attracted Ken Iverson and Adin Falkoff to the faculty of the Institute, was a constant promoter of the use of Iverson notation, and was also the only vice-president of IBM who had an APL terminal in his office.

It was Adin Falkoff with a portable (by some extended meaning of that word) 2741 terminal which he dialed into Yorktown and showed us APL.
Adin typed in "2 space 3 backspace backspace plus" and pressed return and it typed "5".
I know now that Ken and Adin sort of took turns managing the group but the focus was always on the work not the management.

Adin Falkoff, on the other hand, was one of those crazy-symbol Iverson-language authors whose papers I started requesting from the ASDD Library when I first joined IBM.
Adin, like the rest of us, had to use the term because everybody else was using it.
I remember a phone call of Ken's, shortly after Larry had joined him and Adin at IBM Research in Yorktown, in which he said something like: "This young man thinks he can write a translator in a couple of months." He sounded as if he were wondering whether he'd made a bad bargain.

Entre temps, il avait fallu trouver un nom au langage comme au système. L’acronyme APL fut proposé par Adin Falkoff en juillet 1966 et immédiatement accepté (cf.
En 1969, l’impatience est grande au sein de l’équipe de Falkoff de voir IBM développer un système de fichiers pour APL et, surtout, de commercialiser APL.

 An APL Keyboard for the Next Generation
This note suggests a radical rethink along the lines proposed by Adin Falkoff, but taking account of modern Windows conventions and internationalisation issues.
The main goal is to add an entry to the standard Language Bar that offers an APL keyboard as a choice, so that it is possible for anyone to type APL characters directly into Word (or Notepad) without resorting to pasting characters from Charmap.
Here I am following Adin Falkoff in trying to forget the past (which was largely based on the physical constraints imposed by the original Selectric golfball) and make a reasonable mental link between the APL symbols and what appears on the keytops.

 Re: Looking for a really terse FFT...
I gave a talk on the algorithm in one of a series of seminars in our mathematics department.
Ken lverson and Adin Falkoff, the developers of APL, participated and Howard Smith, a member of the APL group, put the algo- rithm in APL when it was only a language for defining processes and before it was implemented on any machine.
This gave the algorithm a thorough working over at the seminar.

The Iverson Notation, as it was originally known, was designed to express mathematical algorithms clearly and concisely.
At IBM in the 1960s, he and Adin D. Falkoff developed APL, short for "a programming language." In the early 1990s, Iverson and Roger Hui created the J language, which is based on APL as well as the FP and FL functional programming languages.
Unlike APL, J requires no special character set; it uses ASCII characters for all primitives.
