Forrester, Jay
Wright
| b. July 14, 1918, Anselmo, Neb., U.S. |
U.S. electrical engineer and management expert who invented the
random-access magnetic core memory, the information-storage
device employed in most digital computers.
Forrester was educated in electrical engineering at the
University of Nebraska, Lincoln, and the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (mit), Cambridge, where he remained to teach and
do research. In 1945 he founded the Digital Computer
Laboratory there and participated in the construction of
Whirlwind I, an early general-purpose digital computer.
During the course of this work, he realized that the slow and
unreliable information-storage systems of early digital
computers hindered their further development. Forrester devised
in 1949 a memory system that stored information in three
dimensions; in his invention a magnetic cell was employed for
both storage and switching.
From 1951 until 1956, Forrester was associated with the
Lincoln Laboratory, Lexington, Mass., operated by Mit for the
federal government to apply electronic technology to problems of
the national defense.
Forrester was led to experiment with the application of
computers to management problems. In time he devised the
technique of computer simulation in which real-world
relationships, such as the flow of materials in a factory, are
represented as a series of interconnected mathematical equations
that can be fed to the computer. As a professor in Mit's
Sloan School of Management, from 1956, Forrester wrote Industrial
Dynamics (1961), Principles of Systems (1968), Urban
Dynamics (1969), and World Dynamics (1971). His Collected
Papers appeared in 1975.
