	Computer Laboratory: Introduction
		Building on its long and distinguished history, the Computer Laboratory continues with world class teaching and research: it received a 6* rating (the top rating) in the recent UK RAE (research assessment exercise) re-designation process and was rated as excellent in the most recent (2003) UK teaching quality assessment.
		Over the course of the last century the University of Cambridge has been the origin of fundamental advances in nuclear physics, molecular biology and computer science.
		Some of the Cambridge developments of that period belong in the basic stock of computing knowledge, for example the ideas of subroutines and of microprogramming.

	Cambridge, England (Borough) - LoveToKnow Watches (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Cambridge, in fact, owed its growth to its position on a natural line of communication between the east and the midlands of England, flanked on the one hand by the deep forests which covered the uplands, on the other by the unreclaimed fens, then desolate and in great part impenetrable.
		Cambridge had a further importance from its position at the head of river navigation, and a charter of Henry I., in which the town is already referred to as a borough, grants it exclusive rights as a river-port, and regulates traffic and tolls.
		The revenues of the university are derived chiefly from fees at matriculation, for certain examinations, and for degrees, from a tax upon all members of the university, and from contributions by the colleges, together with the profits of the University Press.

	University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Computer Laboratory at Cambridge is the computer science department of University of Cambridge.
		It was founded as the Mathematical Laboratory under the leadership of John Lennard-Jones on 14 May 1937, though it did not get properly established until after World War II.
		In 1970, the Mathematical Laboratory was renamed the Computer Laboratory, with separate departments for Teaching and Research and the Computing Service, providing computing services to the university and its colleges.

	EDSAC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The machine, having been inspired by John von Neumann's seminal EDVAC report, was constructed by Maurice Wilkes and his team at the University of Cambridge Mathematical Laboratory in England.
		In 1953, David Wheeler, returning from a stay at the University of Illinois, designed an index register as an extension to the original EDSAC hardware.
		In the mid-60s, a successor to the EDSAC 2 was planned, but the move was instead made to the Titan, a prototype Atlas 2—the latter having been developed from the Atlas Computer of the University of Manchester, Ferranti, and Plessey.

	Titan (computer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Titan computer was the name given to the Atlas 2 developed by Ferranti and the University of Cambridge Mathematical Laboratory.
		One of its most intensive uses was to compute the inverse Fourier Transforms of data from the One-Mile Radio Telescope.
		A second Atlas 2 was built, also in Cambridge, and was installed at the Computer-Aided Design Centre (CADCentre) on Madingley Road.

		While still located in central Cambridge, collaboration between the two maths departments was mainly limited to undergraduate teaching and examining, and there were relatively few links at the research level.
		The UK Mathematics Trust is a registered charity set up in 1996 "to advance the education of children and young people in mathematics".
		Cambridge gives its students much more freedom to do what they please within individual classes, and supervisions give a way both to monitor the students and to clarify anything which they have had difficulty in understanding.

		First, we must consider the quality of the programming system; this is a subjective issue that ranges from the purely aesthetic to the severely practical -- for example, from the elegance of an implementation at one extreme to the speed of a matrix inversion at the other.
		Cambridge made several outstanding contributions to early programming: the use of closed subroutines and parameters, the systematic organization of a subroutine library, interpretive routines, and the development of debugging routines.
		If Cambridge can be said to have had a failure, it was the failure to develop programming languages and autocodes during the middle and late 1950s, as reflected in the second edition of Wilkes, Wheeler, and Gill (1957), of which Hamming said in a review,

	Univ. of Cambridge, Dept. of Engineering. - Machine Intelligence Laboratory
		The Machine Intelligence Laboratory (formerly known as the Speech, Vision and Robotics group) was founded by the late Professor Frank Fallside in the early 1970's, when the main interests were in speech processing and control applications.
		In the mid 1980's, the laboratory developed a strong interest in the theory and application of neural networks and this led to a widening of the laboratory's research to include vision and robotics.
		In addition to supporting a large post-graduate research activity, the Machine Intelligence Laboratory is also responsible for a Masters course in Computer Speech, Text and Internet Technology and undergraduate teaching in the areas of computing and pattern processing.

	John von Neumann
		At a time of political unrest in central Europe, he was invited to visit Princeton University in 1930, and when the Institute for Advanced Studies was founded there in 1933, he was appointed to be one of the original six Professors of Mathematics, a position which he retained for the remainder of his life.
		From the point of view of von Neumann's contributions to the field of computing, including the application of his concepts of mathematics to computing, and the application of computing to his other interests such as mathematical physics and economics, perhaps the most comprehensive is by Herman Goldstine [1972].
		There has been some criticism of Goldstine's perspective since he personally was intimately involved in von Neumann's computing activities from the time of their chance meeting on the railroad platform at Aberdeen in 1944 [2] through their joint activities at the Institute for Advanced Studies in developing the IAS machine.

		Credit for the concept of modern stored program digital computing is instead often accorded to John von Neumann, who saw the idea reach a wide audience after the circulation of his “First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC” (1945).
		But one day it stopped, and there, shining brightly in the expected place, was the expected answer.” The Baby project inspired the development of other, less experimental stored program machines, including the Manchester Mark 1 and the commercial Ferranti Mark 1 computer.
		In May 1949, Maurice Wilkes and his team of researchers successfully completed their first comprehensive test of the stored program concept with the University of Cambridge Mathematical Laboratory’s EDSAC (Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator).
