C. Shannon, "A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits" (1940): https://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/11173/3454142...
Shannon's master's thesis, which introduces boolean algebra to the field of digital circuit design.
R.W. Hamming, "Error Detecting and Error Correcting Codes" (1950): https://ia801903.us.archive.org/1/items/bstj29-2-147/bstj29-...
In Hamming's own words: "Damn it, if the machine can detect an error, why can't it locate the position of the error and correct it?"
J.T. Kajiya, "The Rendering Equation" (1986): http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~ravir/274/15/papers/p143-kajiya.pdf
Kajiya introduces the integral rendering equation, which is the basis for most current techniques of physically based rendering.
