Simplified Computer-Engineer Interface with the Capability of Complete Design Evaluation

Computers were developed for the primary purpose of solving large scale problems which cannot be simply simulated by analog means, or are related to projects in which design mistakes are intolerable. They were originally applied to problems in the nuclear energy field and to large problems in astrophysics. More recently they have found extensive use in solving repetitive and routine problems which occur in accounting, and presently most large corporations make use of computer equipment designed for this type of problem Computers have been used to a much lesser extent in engineering, mainly because of the difficulty of defining the engineering problems in mathematical terms suitable for routine solution by a computer.
