Book Description

The first in this series of conferences had as its host the Office of Ordnance Research (now the Army Research Office). It was held in Durham, North Carolina, in late 1962, and was entitled the 'ARO Working Group on Computers.' It retained this title for only two meetings; then the name was changed to the 'Army Numerical Analysis Conference.' Recently the name received a modification. The title is now the 'Army Numerical Analysis and Computers Conference.' This new designation emphasizes both phases of these meetings. The Impact of Mini-Computers and Micro-Processors on Scientific Computation in Army Research and Development was the theme of the 1976 conference. A Panel Discussion in this area was one of the outstanding features of this meeting.
