[SIGCIS-Members] Book about NTNU computer history

[Ola Nordal]

  Dear SIGCIS-people

I would just take the opportunity to do a bit of self advertising for my 
recent book about the history of computing at NTNU - the Norwegian 
University of Science and Technology: /Verktøy og vitenskap -- 
Datahistorien ved NTNU./ The book is unfortunately only available in 
Norwegian. I hope to publish more in English about this material with time.

The book follows the history of computing at the NTNU as tool and 
science, from the first electronic differential analyser developed in 
the physics department in the mid 1930s, via the first general analogue 
computer built in the early 1950s, the advance of digital computing in 
the 1960s, the formation of a computer science department in the 1970s, 
the turn towards personal computing and super computing in the 1980s and 
the internet revolution in the 1990s/2000s.

Regards,
Ola Nordal
Historian at NTNU, Trondheim, Norway
