Abstract
The rapid spread of computers into almost all fields of commercial, intellectual, and social activity has obscured a great deal: the role of mathematicians in the early history of computing, the uses of early machines, the techniques developed by mathematicians to aid their use and the impact of automation on mathematics itself. Fortunately archives in both the United Kingdom and the United States have preserved some evidence of how mathematicians developed the techniques necessary to exploit early machines.
