Wallace John Eckert

Wallace John Eckert (Wallace John Eckert, June 19, 1902 – ) is an astronomer of the United States of America on August 24, 1971. I acted as a director of the Thomas Jefferson astronomy calculation station of Columbia University and contributed to the mechanization of the technology calculation.

Career

I was born in Pittsburgh. I obtained an astronomical doctorate in Yale University in 1931. I recognized importance of the astronomy calculation station and paid attention to the significance of the method of the calculation not to use the hands for for expansion of the application of the scientific calculation. I published Punched Card Methods in Scientific Computation in 1940. This wrote down a method to use タビュレーティングマシン of IBM using the punched card by the orbital scientific calculation that I predicted of the heavenly bodies, and was 136 pages of things including an index. The Thomas Jefferson astronomy calculation station of Columbia University improved タビュレーティングマシン to solve the differential equation of the field of the astronomy dynamics with cooperation of president of IBM Thomas J Watson. These techniques were used in Manhattan Project that was nuclear weapon development program for a calculation widely later.

I won James Craig Watson medal in 1966. I was named by asteroid (1750) Eckert.
