Computing Timeline Preview for First Project

Earliest history  Abacus – widely regarded as the first “calculating machine”. different forms through history still used today in some markets.

Mathematical Roots  12 th century, development of the concept of algorithm. Persian mathematics teacher (Baghdad) Muhammad ibn-Musa al-Khowarizm First step-by-step procedures for doing computations. The word, algorithm, is derived from his name.

17 th century – more computing machines  Mathematical research in mechanizing calculation process.  Computers were human and prone to error.  Humans were slow computers.  Names – Pascal, Napier, Oughtred, Liebnitz,

19 th Century  Jacquard Loom – stored “programs” on punch cards  More mathematics research  Names – Babbage, Ada Augusta Lovelace, Boole, Hollerith (1890 census)

20 th Century  Computing explosion  First computers and changing technology  Explosion in electronics and in software – many generations of technology.  Some names, Zuse, Anastoff, Hopper, Gates, Jobs, Turing, von Neuman, Aiken, Codd, and many others.

Your first project  Research a person or event in computing history.  Use internet resources, but also may use any other resource that you like. I have a book in the library Computer Science Illuminated on 2 hour reserve which has some history in it.  You must build a web page with your information. See detailed project specifications for what to include – coming shortly.  Presentations in class on October 4.
