- Adin Falkoff
Adin D. Falkoff has been a researcher at
IBM Research since the 1950's. He collaborated with Ken Iverson from 1960 to 1980 on the design, development, and usage of theAPL programming language and its interactive environment. Of special note is his landmark article, "A Formal Description ofSystem/360 ", describing the then new IBM System/360 computer system, formally, in APL.He was a visiting member of the faculty of IBM's Systems Research Institute, and taught
Computer Science atYale University .He was one of the researchers who established and managed the IBM
Philadelphia Scientific Center.Mr. Falkoff has received numerous awards for his work, especially for his work with APL.
He received a B.Ch.E. from the
City College of New York , and an M.A. inMathematics fromYale University .Representative publications
