Jack E. Bresenham is a professor of computer science. He retired from 27 years of service at IBM as a Senior Technical Staff Member in 1987. He taught for 10 years at Winthrop University and has five patents. He has three children: Janet, Linda, and David.
Bresenham's line algorithm, developed in 1962, is his most well-known innovation. It determines which points on a 2-dimensional raster should be plotted in order to form a straight line between two given points, and is commonly used to draw lines on a computer screen. It is one of the earliest algorithms discovered in the field of computer graphics.
