A new project now being carried out at the Aiken Computation Lab may eventually enable large numbers of Harvard students to solve computer problems without learning computer language.
The project is being carried on solely by Harvard, but with the use of an RW400 computer at Santa Barbara, Calif.
A small number of Harvard students are now testing the problem solving ability of the computer system. Glen Culler and his associates at Santa Barbara designed the system which a student can operate with one hour of instruction.
All a student needs to do is type out a problem and watch the answer computed before him on a television console. Previously anyone who wanted to operate a computer had to know Fortran or some other machine language.
