I thought I would appeal to the list for some recommendations. I've got a bright undergraduate who is interested in writing a short paper about computing and physics at MIT but she needs a couple of good sources to provide an overview (so she can assess what is going on at MIT). Again, this is not a dissertation so I'm looking mainly for reliable secondary accounts.

Many thanks for any assistance!
