Computers are fascinating to me and I love learning how to use them. If I believe in myself and follow my dream, someday I'll be writing computer programs. I have the power to be somebody!

French mathematician Blaise Pascal constructed a mechanical calculator for addition and subtraction, called the Pascaline. Because of its expense, the Pascaline never became more than a status symbol and toy.

The Computer
Inventions that Changed
the World -
Most people think of the computer as a fairly recent invention. But the first "computers" were actually built hundreds of years ago!
Many experts say the very first computing device ever made was the abacus, which was in use more than 2,000 years ago. In 1642, the mathematician Blaise Pascal invented a device that used gears and dials to solve complex addition problems. But the true "father" of the modern computer was a brilliant math teacher from England named Charles Babbage. Babbage, who is shown here, designed a machine in 1833 that was more than a century ahead of its time. He called his machine a "difference engine," and it performed long mathematical calculations. Then he thought up and designed a machine that would perform even harder calculations. He called it an "analytical engine." It stored information in a "memory" and was operated by means of cards with holes punched in them. But it was so complicated that the best engineers of the time could not build it.
The next great advance in computers was the construction of ENIAC –the Electrical Numerical Intergrator and Calculator – in 1946. ENIAC was the first general-purpose electronic digital computer. Altogether, it was 100 feet long and teen feet tall, and it weighted 30 tons. In the 1970s, the introduction of the microchip helped reduce the size of computers. Thanks to microchips, today's desktop computers can do much more than the room-sized ENIAC, and they can do thing many times faster.
Today, it is hard to imagine a world without computers. Computers are used in many simple, everyday routines, from making a telephone call, to going thorough supermarket checkout line, to putting money in a bank account. And more complicated activities, such as operating weapons systems, controlling air traffic, and monitoring surgical procedures, are also dependent on computers. Computer networking allows for nearly instantaneous worldwide communications and access to information. And computers have speeded up innovations in nearly every field.

Ada Lovelace was the only legitimate daughter of Lord Byron. She received early training as a mathematician and is considered to have written the first computer program in her correspondence with Charles Babbage about his early mechanical general-purpose computer, the analytical engine. |

Flatland, A Romance of Many Dimensions (illustrations by the Author, A SQUARE), written in 1884 by Edwin Abbot, is still considered an excellent source of inspiration for computer and mathematical students.
