FERMIAC stands for "FERMI Automatic Computer." It was an early electronic digital computer developed in the 1950s at the Argonne National Laboratory, primarily for scientific calculations and research. The development of FERMIAC was influenced by the need to perform complex calculations more efficiently than previous mechanical or analog systems. The computer was named after the physicist Enrico Fermi, who contributed significantly to the field of nuclear physics and played a role in the development of the first nuclear reactor.
