Nathaniel+Rochester

an American electical engineer and pioneer in computer science and artificial intelligence. He received a B.Sc. in electrical engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1941, and moved to IBM in 1948, where he designed the [|IBM 701] and wrote the first symbolic assembler, which allowed programs to be written in short, readable commands rather than pure numbers or punch codes.

In 1955, Rochester co-organized the [|Dartmouth Conference], and later supervised AI projects, including Arthur Samuel's checkers program, [|Herbert Gelernter's] Geometry Theorem Prover and Alex Bernstein's chess program. In 1958, he was a visiting professor at MIT, where he helped John McCarthy with the development of Lisp programming language. In the 1960s, Rochester continued to work at IBM, directing cutting edge research in [|cryogenics] and [|tunnel diode] circuits. || toc =Selected Publications=
