Computer Programmer Lowell Ravesloot, like many other mathematicians, engineers and physicists, came to IBM directly after completing his university studies, with a math degree. Here he describes a challenging new kind of career—of particular interest to the mathematician. What's it like to be with IBM? Everyone is talking about the impact being made on science and industry today by electronic computers. Often miscalled "giant brains," computers have fantastic "memories" and split-second calculating ability. But they don't think; Lowell Ravesloot's job, as a Computer Programmer, is to put decision-making ability into the machine. Using computers to make computers He works with the IBM 704, located at the Poughkeepsie Research Laboratory. At present, its principal job is to help make better computers. IBM scientists and engineers bring their problems to it for solution. Lowell Ravesloot "programs" the computer to solve these problems in a fraction of the time—and with far greater accuracy than paper and pencil calculations ever could. He formulates a problem into mathematical terms, translates it into machine language, feeds it into the computer for solution. He develops and tests coding systems, seeks to determine the best ways of programming problems Explaining differential equation for solution by electronic computers. All this helps IBM make better computers in less time, much as the aviation industry uses computers to "fly" planes before building them . . . or as a grocery chain "operates" a branch store before laying the cornerstone. Math-language of the future Lowell Ravesloot received his M.S. in Math from Northwestern University and joined IBM as a Technical Engineer in 1955. He was attracted by the growing importance of the electronic computer field and by what he terms "the reputation and caliber of the people with IBM." A year later he was promoted to Associate Engineer; six months later to Project Mathematician. Today he is Manager of the Analysis and Computation Group in the Research Computing Center. "I started out as a physics student at Northwestern," he reminisces. "When I switched my major to math in my senior year, I didn't realize I was switching to the 'language of the future.' I do now, for as more and more industrial, educational and scientific institutions turn to computers,the more computer language will become the language of the future. Status chart of projects Checking results on a printer "Here is a new and challenging field of particular interest to the mathematician. There are many people here at the Computing Center of the Research Laboratory with advanced degrees in mathematics, as well as many with engineering or physics backgrounds involved in this interesting work." This profile is just one example of what it's like to be with IBM. There are many other excellent opportunities for well-qualified college men in Research, Development, Manufacturing, Sales and Applied Science.
