Professor R F Churchhouse

Bob Churchhouse joined the Atlas Computer laboratory in 1962 from GCHQ. He was the first Head of Programming and was in charge for most of the life of the Atlas I leaving in 1971 to take up a new Chair at the University of Cardiff. He had a wide interest in computing but his own specialism was Number Theory. Several of the Atlas Fellows shared that interest (Oliver Atkin, Jack Good and Fred Lunnon). Some Atlas staff moved with him to Cardiff including John Baldwin and Fred Lunnon.

Some of the papers that he produced while at the Laboratory were:

• A Computer for all Purposes
• Report of a Visit to the USA: 1965
• The Use of Atlas in the Discovery of a Theorem in the Theory of Numbers
• A New Conjecture Related to the Riemann Hypothesis
• A New Theorem in the Additive Theory of Numbers
