1 Kemeny, John G.
SUBJECT AREA: Electronics and information technology[br]b. before 1939[br]American mathematician and systems programmer, jointly responsible with Thomas Kurtz for the development of the high-level computer language BASIC.[br]Kemeny entered the USA as an immigrant in 1939. He subsequently became a mathematics lecturer at Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, and later became a professor and then Chairman of the Mathematics Department; finally, in 1971, he became President of the College. In 1964, with Thomas Kurtz, he developed the high-level computer language known as BASIC (Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code). It was initially designed for use by students with a time-sharing minicomputer, but it soon became the standard language for microcomputers, frequently being embedded in the computer as "firmware" loaded into a read-only-memory (ROM) integrated circuit.[br]Bibliography1963.

3 Wirth, Niklaus
SUBJECT AREA: Electronics and information technology[br]fl. late 1960s Zurich, Switzerland[br]Swiss computer engineer noted for his development of the high-level computer language PASCAL.[br]For many years Wirth was Professor of Computing Science at Zurich Federal Polytechnic School. In 1969, seeking a high-level computer language suitable for teaching programming as a systematic activity, he invented PASCAL, which is now widely used with personal computers (PCs). Unlike BASIC, which is checked and run a line at a time, PASCAL programs are compiled (i.e. they are fully checked for consistency) before they are actually run.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Emanuel R.Piore Award 1983.Bibliography1971, "The programming language PASCAL", Acta Informatica 1:35.Further ReadingR.L.Wexelblat (ed.), 1981, History of Programming Languages, London: Academic Press.KF
