In John Jackson’s own words, “I work constantly with key executives of the many and varied customers served by IBM in the territory for which I am responsible, advising them on the use of their electronic data processing machines. I consult with these customers, analyze their scientific and technical problems for solution with IBM machines. Occasion ally, I write papers and give talks and demonstrations on electronic computing. AH in all, it’s pretty fascinating - . - ” In other words, he is a full-fledged computing expert, a consultant.. . and a very important person in this coming age of automation through electronics. A consulting sales job During the three years that John Jackßon has spent with IBM as an Applied Science Representative, he has guided innumerable customers to new and better ways of doing things with electronic com puters. For example, a leading aircraft manu facturer wanted to experiment with a radi cally different design for a nuclear reactor. Although the basic for mat had been estab lished, the project still required many months of toil with mathemat- Consulting with top txtcutivo* aircraft people decided that they couldn't afford to wait that long, so they called on IBM. After consultation with top executives, John Jackson helped to map out a computer program that HRved the organization over 100 days of pencil chewing arithmetic. Later, for this same company, he organized the establishment of computer systems for aircraft performance predictions and for data reduc tion of wind tunnel tests. At the same time, he worked with this company’s own employees, training them in the use of IBM equipment. He remains in touch with this customer to assist with new studies and problems as they develop. A new field for the mathematician—lßM computers Why did John Jackson decide to join IBM? Today, he is exercising his mathematical know-how in a field that was practically unheard ol ten years ago. Even now, this kind of work may be news to you. It was to him a few years back when he was an undergraduate at the University of Colorado. At that time, he was Dr. Waller Kaufmann To Speak Tonight Botany Prof Speaks Dr. Leon R. Kneebone, associate professor of botany and plant pathology who is in charge of mushroom research, was guest speaker -at several recent meet ings of representatives of the mushroom industry. it like to ical equations. The Kaufmann to Speak On Existentialism Dr. Walter Kaufmann, associate professor of philosophy at Princeton University and philosophical essayist and inter preter, will speak on “A Critique of Existentialism” at 8 to night in 121 Sparks. His lecture is the first of the Spring semester Liberal Arts Lecture Series and is open to the public. Kaufmann v/ill also speak on “Mysticism” at a philosophy col loquium at 2:30 p.m. today in 5 Sparks. Some of Kaufmann's works are currently on exhibit on the second floor of Pallee Library. They are "Nietzsche," "Existen tialism from Dostoevsky to Sar tre." "The Hegel Myih and its Method" and "Goethe vs. Shakespeare: Some Changes in Dramatic Sensibility." Kaufmann is well known for • “Nietzsche,” a critical study .of ■ the influential nineteenth century philosopher and for his works on ; Existentialism. He has contributed his writings! Mathematician John B. Jackson, like many other mathematicians, engineers and physicists, came to IBM directly from graduate school. Today, an Applied Science Representative, he reviews his progress and tells how he uses his math background in a new field. considering mathematical research. But he liked the excitement and diversification of business and indus try, and he wanted to use his mathematical background in that area. It was not until he was interviewed by IBM that he became aware of this new field for mathematicians. A few months later, he be gan his career as an Ap plied Science trainee. John Jackson has pro gressed rapidly since he joined the Company. He's now the Wash ington representative operating with one of IBM’s key Divisions, Military Products, in the Washington, D. C., office. With his wife Katherine, daughter Lisa, and John, Jr., he enjoys life in the nation’s capital. Discussing a malhtmotics probliia This profile is just one example of what it’s like to, be with IBM. There are excellent opportunities for well qualified college men in Research, Development, Manu facturing, Sales and Applied Science. Why not ask your College Placement Director when IBM will next interview on your campus?

Kaufmann has edited and supplied translations for "The Viking Portable Nietzsche." His newest book, "A Critique of ; Religion and Philosophy," is scheduled io be published in May. Bora in Germany, Kaufmann received his bachelor of arts de- Igree from Williams College. Mapping out a computer program Interesting and chal lenging responsibilities, plus the knowledge that he is making a sub stantial contribution in a rapidly expanding area of IBM that is important to the Com pany and to the nation, assure John Jackson that he is moving along a road of real future opportunities. • • IBM Carp*. 206 Main Street Johnstown, Pa.
