Today we have Professor Taub from the University of Illinois. He is Research Professor at the Illinois Computing Laboratory. This has nothing to do with the talk but I think it would be nice if he would give us about a five-minute rundown on what the Computing Laboratory does. We are all interested in that sort of thing. The actual talk is going to be on relativistic hydrodynamics. Professor Taub To begin with a description of the Digital Computer Laboratory at the University of Illinois, I can tell you a little about its history and some of its plans and what it is going to do. The Digital Computer Laboratory started in about 1948. At that time the acquisition of computers was a little different than it is now. The laboratory then was very much interested in the field of computer development, computer use, and development of mathematical methods for using computers efficiently, and felt that these purposes could best be achieved if a high-speed computer were available.
