	Dr. Kenneth Iverson Passes Away \| Lambda the Ultimate
		Iverson enjoyed language and words, and is reported to have read dictionaries "like people read novels." The J language is defined and explained in The J Dictionary.
		Iverson was awarded the Turing Award in 1979 [f]or his pioneering effort in programming languages and mathematical notation resulting in what the computing field now knows as APL, for his contributions to the implementation of interactive systems, to educational uses of APL, and to programming language theory and practice.
		Iverson was one of the pioneers in the field of programming language design, and his contributions and ideas influenced the thinking of many, be it directly or indirectly.

	IEEE Toronto Section - History
		Kenneth Iverson was a mathematician whose intense fascination with words and syntax led him to create an early programming language that inspired a generation of computer programmers.
		Iverson thought it was important that language, both English and mathematics, could communicate clearly and concisely, she said, and he was always finding relationships between things.
		Kenneth Iverson, mathematician, was born on Dec. 17, 1920, in Camrose, Alta.

		Iverson suspected that the European advantage was not due to factors unique to Europe but rather was a reflection of lethargy on the part of the American firms.
		Iverson decided to gamble on the process and Nucor successfully introduced the technology in a plant built in Crawfordsville, Indiana in the 1980s.While the gamble paid off, there was some negative fallout resulting from a tragic accident at the new plant.

		Kenneth Iverson saved his small company, Nucor, from bankruptcy in 1966 and became a leading innovator in the American steel industry.
		Iverson decided Nucor should make its own steel—and do it differently than the big steel mills did.
		He took a risk and built highly automated "mini-mills," which used electric furnaces to melt scrap steel (from cars, nails, and cans) instead of virgin ore. This process was much more efficient than the blast furnaces of traditional mills.

		Iverson acknowledges that he tapped Correnti to lead Nucor because of the younger executive's depth of engineering expertise.

		Big Blue made Iverson an IBM Fellow in 1970 in recognition for his efforts with APL.
		In the summer of 1989, Iverson turned his attentions to creating an even more accessible, powerful form of APL: a language that eventually went under the simple name of J. It offers all of the functionality of APL but is constructed purely in standard ASCII characters.

		ACM SIGAPL is pleased to announce that the Kenneth E. Iverson Award for Distinguished Achievement in APL is presented in 1996 to Roger Hui for his notable work on the J programming language.
		The roots of J clearly go back to Iverson notation (1960, 1962), but it is no more than a happy coincidence that J follows I in our alphabet.
		Roger well deserves to be honored for his implementation of J written in C: "Although the implementation language is C, the programming style is unmistakably APL." [Implementation, 1992, p.1] But we rightly pay tribute to Roger also for his collaboration with Ken on the design of the language itself.

		We are saddened to learn that our great colleague, friend, and teacher, Dr. Kenneth E. Iverson, passed away on October 19, 2004.
		Ken Iverson was the man who started it all.
		While at Harvard in the 1950's, Ken invented a high-level math notation that, some years later, became the array programming language APL, which in turn led to other array languages, such as J, K, Nial, and math tools like Mathematica and others.
