Study Notes
Inventions in Mechanical Calculation
- Gottfried Leibniz invented the first mechanical calculator capable of multiplication in 1674.
- Joseph-Marie Jacquard developed the Jacquard Loom in 1804, an automatic weaving machine controlled by punched cards.
- Charles Babbage designed the Difference Engine (1822) and the Analytical Engine (1834), pioneering designs for mechanical computers, although he never built a functioning model.
- Herman Hollerith created a tabulating machine in 1890 for the U.S. Census, using punched cards for data input, laying the groundwork for IBM.
- Konrad Zuse's Z1 (1938) was a programmable electronic calculator, leading to the Z3 (1941), the first with automatic operation.
- IBM partnered with Harvard University to create the Mark I (1943), a large electronic calculator using electromechanical relays.
Generations of Computer Development
First Generation (1946-1959)
- ENIAC, the first electronic computer, was designed by J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly in 1946, occupying 167 square meters and weighing 27 tons with vacuum tubes.
- UNIVAC I, also designed by Eckert and Mauchly, was the first commercial computer.
- EDVAC, designed by Von Neumann in 1952, was the first stored program computer.
Second Generation (1959-1965)
- Second-generation computers utilized transistors, making them smaller, faster, and more reliable than their vacuum tube predecessors.
- Key programming languages COBOL and FORTRAN emerged during this era, with COBOL preferred in business and FORTRAN in scientific applications.
- IBM's transistorized 1401 mainframe computer expanded mainframe usage across businesses.
- The American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) was introduced in 1963, establishing a critical character set standard for computers.
- IBM's System/360 revolutionized computing with its integration of various systems.
