Welcome to John Atanasof website
John Vincent Atanasoff is an American physicist, mathematician and electric engineer of Bulgarian origin, the creator of the first electronic, non-programmable computer.
On the site you will find detailed information about the great scientist with Bulgarian roots. The computer, the greatest machine of the the 20th century, and perhaps the past millennium, an invention, which will probably separate the epochs into the new history of mankind. The exciting story of the computer ABC continues to be of interest today, when we celebrate the centenary of the birth of its creator. The newly-restored prototype of the machine was demonstrated in Washington, DC and after a triumphal tour of American universities, it will take its place in the pantheon of science and technology - the Smithsonian Museum. I hope you will enjoy this site and it will be useful to you. |
I have always felt the heredity I received, the blood of two different peoples / the Bulgarian and the American /, served to buoy my spirits.” |
