Tukey, created the fast Fourier transform: 1944 Coombs, Allen: Designed and built the Mark II Colossus computers; superseded the Mark I version (which was the world's first digital, electronic ...
A few of these people pre-date the invention of the digital computer; they are now regarded as computer scientists because their work can be seen as leading to the invention of the computer.
