German mathematician Wolf Barth reportedly died
on December 30, 2016.

Flashback to this journal on that date *

From "The Man Who Tried to Redeem the World with Logic" —

"The following June, 1945, von Neumann penned
what would become a historic document entitled
'First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC,' the first published
description of a stored-program binary computing machine—
the modern computer."

* And, of course, to the later post  Easy E for Cullinan  (Feb. 28, 2017).
    Cullinan, second from left below, is the now-famous Oscars accountant.
