It gives you a peek inside her brain.calculating machine. What's good?
So I found just fantastic stuff."This calculating machine was an endless subject of monologue." A lot of people remarked on Babbage's tendency to go on and on about his calculating machine.What else? Of course, it wasn't only Google that I found stuff in.
Any of you? So I lost a very large number of quarters in "Pong" machines when I was in graduate school in Santa Cruz years ago.not as a calculating machine but as an interactive information and communications machine-- he made friends with a guy
A lot, I think to some extent, she's actually writing the footnotes to Babbage because she often says things like, "I don't know if this has occurredto the creator of the calculating machine, but I have this idea about how this could actually work." And this is one of those notes whereshe says-- this is the first appearance of general computing theory-- "in enabling the mechanism to combine together general symbols in successions of unlimited variety
Hopper had to do initially. Was figure out how to get the outputs to be what the purpose of the machine was. The navy, once they started hearing that theyhad some type of high speed calculating machine, that could, in fact, do 3 calculations per second, which was revolutionary at the time. They started sending Hopper and her crew otherproblems to solve. And this kind of put Hopper in a conundrum. They had to continue to start
And we have here, "Babbage spoke highly of a mathematical powers and a peculiar capability higher, he said, than that of anyone he knew to prepare."I believe it was the descriptions connected with his calculating machine.He says, "I fear I'm not expressing myself rightly here as to the precise nature of the subject." I think the descriptions is the state tables, the programs,
so he's pretty clever.He was famous in his own time for this mysterious calculating machine which was perpetually planned and never built,which we would now recognize as a computer.
Scandalous!"-- to go into the Great Exhibition of 1851.He was very angry that they didn't put his calculating machine in there.I think the feeling was that people would not understand what it was, which I think shows a sad underestimation of the British public.
He knew her intimately and spoke highly of her mathematical powers and of her peculiar capability higher, he said, then that of anyone he knew, to prepare,I believe it was the descriptions connected with his calculating machine.I fear I'm not expressing myself rightly here as to the precise nature of the subject." And I think he's talking about the programs
Max Newman's wife wrote a letter to one of her friends while this was going on, and she said this.Did you see the extraordinary report in the times two weeks ago on the Manchester calculating machine with the fantastic remarks attributedto Alan Turing and Max's letter the following day trying to clear things up?
In Japan, probably the greatest way that their approach to maths and numbers is different to in the U.K. and in America, certainly, is in the presence of the abacus. Now thisis an abacus. An abacus is a counting machine or a calculating machine. It's really the oldest kind of calculating machine that there is and virtually all cultures that count havesimilar things. Sometimes they don't make them into mechanical objects they're just lines and you have sort of say pebbles on a counter. That's where the word counter comes
Previously the main dividing lines between people and their beliefs concerned questions like,That's it. The Homo sapiens, like giraffes, like elephants, they are calculating all the time, all their body is just a calculating machine for calculating probabilities
Now Howard Aiken was in charge of the Harvard Mark 1. He has an interesting story in and of his own right. In 1938 he was a graduate student at Harvard. But he had spent manyyears working in, for power plants for industry. And he got the idea for a calculating machine initially to help him do some of his PhD work. Harvard saw itself as a school andwas not willing to support Aiken's effort. And Aiken tried for 5 years, excuse me, for 3 years to get their support. It wasn't until Pearl Harbor which opened the door for Aiken
