Gibson, 36, warned the businessmen and scientists assembled for the National Electronics Conference that man's lead over the machine might soon be drastically narrowed. Working together with seven other Purdue professors and 60 graduate students, Gibson is preparing to "mate" an analogue computer, which solves mathematical problems in a flash...
