&gt; Herbert Reuben John Grosch (September 13, 1918 – January 18, 2010)[1] was an early computer scientist, perhaps best known for Grosch&#x27;s law, which he formulated in 1950. Grosch&#x27;s Law is an aphorism that states &quot;economy is as the square root of the speed.&quot;<p>&gt; He holds the distinction of being the second scientist hired by IBM (after Wallace J. Eckert)<p>&gt; editor of the journal Computerworld from 1973 to 1976<p>&gt; president of...the Association for Computing Machinery from 1976 to 1978.<p>&gt; Grosch received the Association for Computing Machinery Fellows Award in 1995, and the citation that accompanied it read, &quot;A computer pioneer who managed important space and technology projects, Grosch is respected for discovering and describing the relationship between speed and cost of computers.&quot;<p>Hmm! Here&#x27;s an interesting publication of his:<p>&gt; Ray Tracing on IBM Punched Card Equipment, Journal of the Optical Society of America, Vol.35, 803A (1945).<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Herb_Grosch" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Herb_Grosch</a>
