David Anderson

Professor David Anderson is affiliated with the Department of Mathematics at the University of Sussex. His work challenges conventional narratives in computing history, notably examining the contributions of mathematicians like Max Newman to the development of the Manchester Baby. His 2017 lecture, held at the Sallis Benney Lecture Theatre in Brighton, critically re-evaluated primary sources to highlight underrecognized roles in early computing projects.

Research focuses on demythologizing historical accounts through rigorous source analysis, emphasizing interdisciplinary connections between mathematics and computing history.
