First Draft of a Report
on the EDVAC

John von Neumann
1.2 An automatic computing system is a (usually highly composite) device, which can carry out
instructions to perform calculations of a considerable order of complexity—e.g. to solve a non-linear
partial differential equation in 2 or 3 independent variables numerically.
