Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Dr. J. Halcombe "Hal" Laning Jr. was a Massachusetts Institute of Technology computer pioneer who in 1952 invented an algebraic compiler called George that ran on the MIT Whirlwind, the first real-time computer. He later became a key contributor to the 1960s race to the moon, with pioneering work on space-based guidance systems for the Apollo moon missions. From 1955 to 1980, he was deputy associate director of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory. In 1956 he published the book Random Processes in Automatic Control, with Richard Battin as a coauthor. In collaboration with Phil Hankins and Charlie Werner of MIT, he initiated work on MAC, an algebraic programming language for the IBM 650, which was completed by early spring of 1958. He later worked in the MIT Draper Lab, with Richard H. Battin, to develop a scheme for doing onboard navigation on the Apollo program's command/service module guidance system. Laning received his PhD from MIT in 1947 with a dissertation titled "Mathematical Theory of Lubrication-Type Flow". His undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering was also from MIT.
