George Edward Backus is primarily known as an American mathematician and computer scientist, recognized for his contributions to the fields of programming languages and formal language theory. He is perhaps best known for his work on axiomatic semantics and the development of Backus-Naur Form (BNF), a notation used to express the grammar of programming languages. Backus's work has had a significant impact on the design and implementation of programming languages, influencing how languages are defined and understood.
