Sumario: | It is the purpose of the Association for Computing Machinery to advance the science of numerical computation, in particular the design, development, construction and application of modern computing machinery for performing operations in mathematics, logic, statistics and kindred fields, and to promote a free interchange of information about such machinery in the best scientific tradition. To further this purpose, the Association has from time to time arranged meetings at which members and others interested in the field have had an opportunity to exchange up-to-date information. For the first time the attempt is made here to make such information available to a wider public in a more permanent form, by assembling in this volume the transcripts of papers presented at the meeting of the Association held at the Mellon Institute, Pittsburgh, Pa., on May 2-3, 1952.
