描述了电子计算机发展初期（1946--1948）与 A. M. 图灵在国家物理实验室的生活。讨论了目前数值分析师因与计算机科学家和数学家关系紧张而产生的悲观情绪。有人认为，鉴于过去和现在的表现，这种悲观主义是没有道理的，并且是数值数学进步的主要敌人。讨论了矩阵计算和误差分析领域的一些成就，并概述了数值分析研究方向可能发生的变化。
A description is given of life with A. M. Turing at the National Physical Laboratory in the early days of the development of electronic computers (1946--1948). The present mood of pessimism among numerical analysts resulting from difficult relationships with computer scientists and mathematicians is discussed. It is suggested that in light of past and present performance this pessimism is unjustified and is the main enemy of progress in numerical mathematics. Some achievements in the fields of matrix computations and error analysis are discussed and likely changes in the direction of research in numerical analysis are sketched.
