DESCRIPTION:The Atanasoff Berry Computer\, later named the ABC\, was built 
 at Iowa State University from 1939-1942 by physics professor Dr. John Vinc
 ent Atanasoff and his graduate student\, Clifford Berry.\n\nAtanasoff was 
 a professor of Mathematics and Physics and was seeking a way to increase t
 he speed and accuracy of the scientific calculations that he was performin
 g with a Monroe mechanical calculator.\n\nSee https://jva.cs.iastate.edu/o
 peration.php for more information of the ABC and the legal case about who 
 invented the first electronic digital computer.\n\nFree Pizza and Pop will
  be provided before the meeting.\n\nThis will also be a joint meeting with
  the Computer Society Chapter.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Alexander Stoytchev\, \n
 \nAgenda: \n6:30 PM – Pizza and Pop provided by the Central Iowa Section
