Pictures

Please send me your pictures of Dijkstra so that I can include them in my collection!

 

  • Edsger W. Dijkstra as student in Leiden. The two pictures were taken in 1948 and 1951, respectively. Many thanks to Mevr A.E. Swierstra-Dijkstra.

Dijkstra’s trip report (EWD385) mentions Dave Redell who took the photograph and McJones because they served as “intelligent terminals” in an “interactive programming session”. Thanks to McJones and his blog.
