First edition of the earliest textbook devoted to computer programming, setting out systematic program design and the use of subroutines as developed at the Cambridge Mathematical Laboratory with the copy signed in pencil by Alan Turing on the back free endpaper, the signature entered upside down. - Based on work with the EDSAC, one of the first stored program computers in regular service, the manual codifies subroutine libraries, calling conventions, and debugging procedures, and describes the punched tape library then in use. - Title-page with printed slip of Scientific Computing Service Limited, sole agents in Great Britain. - Well preserved. Gilt on spine lightly dulled. Minimal rubbing to extremities. In excellent condition. - Alan Mathison Turing (1912-1954), with his signature in pencil on the back free endpaper; Robin Gandy (1919-1995), Turing's friend and one of his executors; bequeathed to Wolfson College. A Fellow of Wolfson from 1970 until his death in 1995, Gandy generously left his entire estate to the College, including this book once owned by Alan Turing, with the wish that his legacy be used to benefit the College and its students. Deaccessioned to fund student support (Turing-Gandy bursary initiative).

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. First Edition. First Edition. Hardcover. "The first textbook on computer programming." [OOC 1030] First edition, first printing, label of Scientific Computing Service Limited, London (the English distributors) tipped onto the title page. Mimeo errata sheet [often missing] tipped into rear endpapers. Wilkes was director of the Mathematical Laboratory of the Univ. of Cambridge and, with Wheeler and Gill, EDSAC at Cambridge. "One of the most influential textbooks of this early era . The form of constructing programs and how they should be linked together to form a load module, as described in this book, reappears many times for different computers being constructed in different countries. It provided the basic ideas as to how one should go about creating a computing system rather than simply providing a bit of hardware to be used only by a few specialists." [Williams 1985, 337]. Minor shelf/edge wear, distributor ticket on title page, errata tipped in at rear, gilt at spine toned, else tight, bright, and unmarred. Brown cloth boards, gilt lettering. 8vo. 167 plus Index.

Etat : Very good plus. First edition, important association copy of this early work in computer programming, owned and annotated by Mary Lee Woods, noted computer scientist and programmer (and mother of World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee). This book contains programming instructions for the EDSAC (Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator), an early British computer built by author Wilkes and colleagues at the University of Cambridge. Mary Lee Woods (later Berners-Lee), to whom this copy belonged, was a member of the working group responsible for developing the Ferranti Mark 1, aka the Manchester Electronic Computer: the first commercially available digital computer, completed and delivered a year ahead of the U.S.-developed UNIVAC I. In 1951, the year of this text's publication, Woods returned from a disappointing Australian astrophysics fellowship and was swiftly recruited by Ferranti's team in Manchester, though she had never programmed before (a "significant proportion of the programmer recruits were female mathematics graduates from universities in the south-east of England," writes Simon Lavington). Known as the first book on computer programming, and proportionately influential, THE PREPARATION OF PROGRAMS was likely a major part of Woods's initial training; her neat annotations record her own additions, substitutions, and adjustments to the sample subroutines provided. In 1952, Woods led an effort to secure an official policy guaranteeing pay equality for male and female programmers and remarkably succeeded, though women programmers continued to struggle for equal time on the much-in-demand machine, shared with university users. In an interview years later, she recalled: "You'd be in a very deep sleep, and to be woken up although you were dying to get on to the computerto be woken up in the middle of the night was not very good, when your turn came! However, it was worth it. You had black coffee, and had to go on the computer." A remarkable association copy, capturing an early moment in the history of computer programming. 9'' x 6''. Original brown cloth with gilt spine lettering. Illustrated with two black-and-white plates. 167, [3] pages. Pencil to front free endpaper with owner's signature of "M.L. Woods" in block capitals; pencil note to rear endpaper; occasional neat and unobtrusive pencil annotations throughout. Seller's label from Scientific Computing Service Limited of London neatly mounted to title page. Spine sunned; lettering faded. Moderate bumping and edgewear.
