Konrad Zuse designed and built electromechanical logic gates for his computer Z1 (from 1935 to 1938). Up to and during the 1930s, electrical engineers were able to build electronic circuits to solve mathematical and logic problems, but most did so in an ad hoc manner, lacking any theoretical rigor.
Lovelace's note G on the Analytical Engine (1842) describes an algorithm for generating Bernoulli numbers. It is considered the first algorithm ever specifically tailored for implementation on a computer, and thus the first-ever computer programme. [11] [12] The engine was never completed, however, so her code was never tested. [13]
Haskell Brooks Curry (/ ˈ h æ s k əl / HAS-kəl; September 12, 1900 – September 1, 1982) was an American mathematician, logician and computer scientist.Curry is best known for his work in combinatory logic, whose initial concept is based on a paper by Moses Schönfinkel, [1] for which Curry did much of the development.
The oldest known recordings of computer generated music were played by the Ferranti Mark 1 computer. The Mark 1 is a commercial version of the Manchester Mark 1 machine from the University of Manchester. The music program was written by Christopher Strachey. 1951: US EDVAC (electronic discrete variable computer). The first computer to use ...
