“Since 1933, politicians and pundits have often called for a “new deal”
regarding an object. That is, they demand a completely new, large-scale
approach to a project.”
From: New Deal - Wikipedia
Clear as mud?

Uh … try integrating PDEs with a room full of people running slide
rules some time. 
The electronic equivalent of the slide rule, the analog computer, was
limited to a precision of at best five decimal digits, and could
integrate ordinary differential equations easily. But partial
differential equations are a whole 'nutha ball game.

Well … he did fund the Manhattan Project, after all. Most of the
calculations for that, however, were done by rooms full of men and women
operating mechanical desk calculators, under the direction of John Von
Neumann and others. These men and women were known as “computers”, and
in many cases had college degrees in mathematics.

Put a lot of stuff in space though!
And pioneered through the RF and amplifier circuits. (think vacuum
tubes/ valves, now that’s some hardcore engineering!)
