HISTORIC HISTORY OF COMPUTERS

Joseph Marie Jacquard Fibonacci

• By definition means a device that
helps people gather information.

intro
COMPUTER

WAY BACK THEN

• Means a person who do

computing.
 So computers were
invented to help people
COMPUTER to do computing much
more easier.

STONE-AGED COUNTING SYSTEM
 WONDERFUL WORLD OF EARLY COUNTING SYSTEM
LEBOMBO BONES
• A 35,000 year-old baboon fibula.
• Was discovered in a cave of
Lebombo mountains in
Swaziland.
• Has a 29 notches that helped the
bushmen to calculate numbers
and perhaps also measure the
passage of time
• Considered as the oldest
mathematical artifact
ISHANGO BONES
• A 20,000 year-old bone
discovered, revealed that early
civilization had mastered
arithmetic series and even the
concept of prime numbers
• Suggested that it was some sort
of a stone age calculation tool.
NAPIER’S BONE
• In 1641, Scottish
mathematician John
Napier proposed a
radical idea called,
15B B.C
logarithm.
• He created a device
called Napier’s bone, that
let people perform
multiplication by doing a
series of addition and
division by doing series
of subtraction
 EARLY HISTORY OF COMPUTER

2400BC

2400BC 100BC 36BC

THE ABACUSS THE ANTIKYTHERA ZERO
MECHANISM
YEAR 1642-MECHANICAL CALCULATORS
• Mathematician Blaise Pascal, then
a teenager, built a mechanical
calculator.
• Capable of addition and
subtractions only.

Y.1600
• Year 1623, Wilhelm Schickard, invented the
first mechanical calculator
• He called his invention the ‘Speeding clock’
or the ‘Calculating clock’
• His invention was built 20 years before Blaise
Pascal’s mechanical calculator.
• Could add and subtract six-digit numbers.
YEAR 1801-JACQUARD PROGRAMMABLE LOOM

• Not doing much computing but it

helps the people with the idea of
‘what if we build a machine that
actually take instructions instead of

Y. 1800
having just a bunch of machines’
• Joseph Marie Jacquard invented a
machine that read punched cards and
attached to a loom.
• The arrangement of holes could
direct the loom’s behavior - a textile
could be described by a deck of
cards.
 YEAR 1837-CHARLE’S BABBAGE

• Considered as the father of computers.

• He invented the ‘Analytical Engine’ that
reads punched cards, perform calculation
and draw pictures, pressed numbers and

Y. 1800
letters onto paper in response.
• The analytical engine had an internal
component exclusively for doing math
and had its own memory stores.
• This was the first general purpose
computer.
• Never actually constructed in Babbage’s
lifetime.
YEAR 1843-THE FIRST PROGRAM

• Ada Lovelace, English mathematician, met

Babbage and became interested in the
analytical engine.

Y. 1800
• She intuitively recognized it to be a general-
purpose.
• In 1843 she began translating and annotating
an Italian report on the engine.
• Her notes were found to contain a program
for the analytical engine that computer
Bernoulli’s number, key for some areas of
mathematics.
• She is regarded as the first programmer.
YEAR 1890- THE TABULATOR

• American inventor Herman Hollerith

invents a new type of punched cards
and mechanical machines for
operating on them.

Y. 1800
• The US Census Bureau both some
and used them to calculate the results
of the 1890 census.
• Hollerith’s invention is responsible for
the IBM’s rise to power.
• They’ve finished ahead of the
schedule.
• Machine designed to assist in
summarizing the information stored
on punch cards.
 YEAR 1940 – THE ALLIES CRANK ENIGMA

• During WWII, Germany has a U-Boats,

they used a system called Enigma, they
encrypted their communication and
transmitted them, the Allied power could
not predict the attacks.

Y.1900
• British mathematician Alan Turing,
working with wartime intelligence
agencies, develops a machine that decode
messages, allowing ships to change
course to avoid U-boats attack. It was
called Bombe.
• The Bombe allowed the allies to
routinely decode the bulk of enemy’s
encrypted communication.
 YEAR 1941- THE Z3

• Konrad Zuse created the world’s

first programmable computer,
the Z3, from telephone parts.

Y.1900
• It uses 2,000 relays and was used
to designed aircrafts.
• Zuse also created the world’s
first high-level programming
language called Plankalkul.
 YEAR 1947- ENIAC

• ENIAC was completed in 1945 at

University of Pennsylvania
• First digital computer invented

Y.1900
• Known as the “Giant Brain” by the
press
YEAR 1947- DEBUGGING

• Was basically electrical parts that can

be closed, which lets electricity

Y.1900
through or open, which does not.
• Admiral Grace Hopper, found a
moth had gotten stuck in a relay,
stopping it to close.
• She removed it and joked around that
indeed debugging the computer.
THE ABACUSS

• A beads on string
• Most synonymous with
Suanpan version
• A sand abacus was used in
Babylon
• Effective for teaching blind
people
• Was found on ancient Egypt,
Greece and Rome.
• Excellent for counting and
basic arithmetic.
• Was also invented to help tax
collectors.
THE ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM

• Found at the tiny island in

Antikythera from the wrecked ship.
• Bronze gear etched with
astronomical symbols and a
classical Greek instruction manual.
• Analysis shows that it once had a
crank that, when turned, can
calculate the motion of the sun, the
next eclipse, month of the year and
positions of planets and
constellations
• Exact purpose is still unknown, it
was too small to be on display and
too inaccurate to use for
navigation.
CREATING ZERO

• Most cultures don’t have the

concept of ‘zero’.
• They largely took the issue with
the absence of a number being
itself a number.
• Much later they discovered that
the Maya and the Inca of the
South America had zero as early
as 36 B.C.
• Europe didn’t commit to it not
until Fibonacci recommended it.
