| | GENIAC Ad in Astounding Science Fiction (July 1957) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01) |
 | | GENIAC the first electrical brain construction kit is equipped to play tic-tac-toe, cipher and encipher codes, convert from binary to decimal, reason in syllogisms, as well as add, subtract, multiply and divide. |
 | | Specific problems in a variety of fields--actuarial, policy claim settlement, physics, etc., can be set up and solved with the components. |
 | | You will find building and using GENIACS a wonderful experience; one kit user wrote us: "this kit has opened up a new world of thinking to me." You actually see how computing, problem solving, and game play (Tic-tac-toe, nim, etc.) can be analyzed with Boolean Algebra and the algebraic solutions transformed directly into circuit diagrams. |
