Norwalk Students Try Hands On Computer Programming
A group of 27 Norwalk High School seniors completed a six week introduction to computers as part of advanced mathematics. They toured NASA Plum Brook, learned GOTRAN, punched IBM cards on EHOVE's 029 keypunch, and ran programs on NASA's 1620 computer. They wrote solutions for square roots by Newtonian method, quadratic and cubic equations, primes, and the Fibonacci sequence, and some printed pictures. The program, aided by NASA and EHOVE, may lead to future computer study and a high school computer lab.
