Talk on evolution of Los Alamos computing to kick off new seminar series

Roger Lazarus' seminar, "35 Years in 45 Minutes: 1951-1985," is the first in a new series of seminars presented by the Computer and Computational Sciences (CCS) Division. Lazarus' talk begins at 10:30 this morning in the Materials Science Laboratory Auditorium at Technical Area 3, Building 1698, room A-103. The talk is unclassified and open to all badge holders.

Lazarus received his doctorate in theoretical physics with a specialization in quantum electrodynamics from Harvard University in 1951. In that same year, he began work in Los Alamos' Theoretical (T) Division. His first experience with computers was using IBM Card Programmed Electronic Calculators, the IBM 701 and 704. He was a prominent member of the STRETCH team, and founded C Division in 1968.
