Recreating the Atanasoff-Berry Computer

The Atanasoff Berry Computer, later named the ABC, was built at Iowa State University from 1939-1942 by physics professor Dr. John Vincent Atanasoff and his graduate student, Clifford Berry.
Atanasoff was a professor of Mathematics and Physics and was seeking a way to increase the speed and accuracy of the scientific calculations that he was performing with a Monroe mechanical calculator.
