John William Mauchly (
August 30 1907 –
January 8 1980) was an
American physicist who, along with
J. Presper Eckert, designed
ENIAC, the first general purpose electronic
digital computer, as well as
EDVAC,
BINAC and
UNIVAC I, the first commercial computer made in the
United States. Together they started the first computer company, the
Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation (EMCC), and pioneered fundamental computer concepts including the
stored program,
subroutines, and programming languages. Their work, as exposed in the widely read
First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC (1945) and as taught in the
Moore School Lectures (1946) influenced an explosion of computer development in the late 1940s all over the world.
