For a few days, Dr. Pitke and his wife Medha visited us. Besides sightseeing, one of his purposes was to visit
Adolfo, to strenghten ties between IEEE Mexico and IEEE India, and to see how we could make a tribute to Ing. Sergio Beltrán, pioneer of Computer Science in Mexico. Beltrán introduced the first computer to Mexico (IBM 650, Centro de Cálculo Electrónico [CCE], UNAM, 1958). He also placed Mexico in the (computer) map, inviting for talks, short courtes, and even several months stays in CCE, to renowned computer pioneers. Among them:
Daniel Slotnick (U. of Illinois, creator of the ILLIAC IV supercomputer), Saul Gorn (U. of Pennsylvania), Manny Lehman (U. Hebrea de Jerusalem), Niklaus Wirth (U. of Boussard, Grenoble), Karl Zemanek (U. of Vienna) and many others. For a description of Beltran's work, click

In a visit to IEEE Mexico Section, he met Ing. Ignacio Castillo (IEEE Region 9 Secretary) and Dr. Ron S. Leder (IEEE + Biotechnology). 30jun2015. See picture below.
