My career and contributions

Abstract

I started my career earning a BA in Mathematics in 1965 from the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology. I then served a mandatory service in the military for an extended period of time so I could serve at the newly established computer center as a computer programmer. The first computer, Philco 212, had a 32K memory and its machine language was TAC. Later on the computer language ALTAC (Algebraic TAC) was designed. Some years later ALTAC was modified to FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslator) which is still widely used today. Most of my programs nowadays I code in Fortran.
