It is, therefore, an appropriate occasion to give an account of how the qualities of this machine, and even more the people engaged with it, influenced the development of computer science among Serbian mathematicians, and in Serbia in general. To the extent to which our feeble memory and preserved documents allow us, we will attempt to demonstrate how this computer – once incorporated into a well-conceived development concept – set long- term trajectories of the development of Serbian computer science and its 1 This text is a written version of my address regarding the development of com- puter science at the Faculty of Mathematics given at the occasion of the first Nedeljko Parezanovi´caward for most successful computer science students in November 2017.
