Mathematical Devices, Early
Early humans counted and performed simple calculations using tools such as their fingers, notches in sticks, knotted strings, and pebbles. Most early cultures evolved
some form of a counting board or abacus to perform calculations. Pencil and paper eventually replaced these early counting boards, but a modern form of the abacus
may still be seen in use in parts of Russia and Asia in the twenty-first century.

Counting Boards
Ancient cultures such as the Greeks, Babylonians, and Romans marked parallel lines on a table and placed pebbles on the lines for counting. In the Western
hemisphere, the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas used kernels of grain as counters. The parallel lines represented numbers, and pebbles or other counters placed on the lines
denoted multiples of that number. Since the value assigned to a counter depended on the line on which it was placed, these early counting devices used a place value
system. Some of the cultures that used these place value devices for computations then recorded the results of these calculations using a number system that did not
use place value, such as Roman numerals.

The pebbles the ancient Romans used for their counting boards were called calculii. Our modern words "calculate" and "calculus" come from this root word.Very few
counting tables still exist. However, they must have been common because they are often mentioned in wills and inventories. In the fifth century b.c.e., the Greek
historian Herodotus (c. 485 b.c.e.–425 b.c.e.) described counting tables that used pebbles and wrote examples of the calculations for which they could be used. One
such calculation was computing the interest due on a loan.

One of the few counting tables still in existence was found on the Greek island of Salamis. It is now in two pieces, but it was once a very large marble slab, approximately
5 feet by 2 1/2 feet. The table is marked with 11 vertical lines, a blank space between them, and horizontal lines crossing the vertical ones. Greek symbols appear along
the top and bottom of the tablet. No one is certain what it was used for, but it could have been used for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

To add numbers using a counting board or table, counters would be placed on the appropriate lines to denote the first number to be added. Additional counters were
placed on appropriate lines to make up subsequent numbers to be added. If there were numbers to be carried, counters were removed from one line and an additional
counter was placed on the line to represent the next higher number. At the end of the operations, the total value of the counters on the table indicated the sum. For
subtraction, counters would be taken away, with any borrowing done manually. Since negative numbers were not used at the time, smaller numbers would be subtracted
from larger ones.

By the thirteenth century a standard form of the counting table was prevalent in Europe. It was a table upon which lines were drawn to represent the place value of the
counters to be put on the lines. The bottom line was the units place and each subsequent line represented ten times the value of the line below it. These lines formed a
base-10 system . Each space between two lines represented numbers having five times the value of the line below the space. As soon as five counters appeared on a
line or space, they were removed and replaced by one counter on the next higher space or line.

Early counters were usually pebbles, but by the thirteenth century in Europe, counters resembled coins. These later counters came to be called jetons from the French
verb jeter, meaning "to throw." They were quite common and at one time manufacturing jetons was a major industry in Europe.

The Abacus
The more modern wire and bead abacus began in the Middle East during the early Middle Ages, c. 500 c.e.–1000 c.e. The abacus is believed to have spread from
Europe along trade routes to the east. It was first adopted by the merchants in each society because they had to perform many calculations in their daily business
activities.

The Greeks used the word "abax" to denote the surface on which they placed their counting lines. This may have come from the Semitic word abaq, meaning dust. This
term spread to Rome where counting boards were called abaci. The abacus was called a choreb by the Turks and a stchoty by the Russians. As the abacus was used in
more societies, its form changed, but the principles of computation remained the same.

By 1300 a device resembling the modern abacus was in common use in China. It consisted of a rectangular wooden frame with a bar running down its length dividing the
abacus into two parts. The upper part, smaller than the lower, was sometimes referred to as "heaven," and the lower part as "Earth." Dowels were placed through the
dividing bar, perpendicular to it.

The "heaven" part of each dowel was strung with 2 beads, each representing 5 times the place value of the number corresponding to the dowel. The "Earth" part of each
dowel contained 5 beads, each representing the place value of the corresponding number. The initial position of each bead was touching either the outer frame or a bead
touching the outer frame. The beads were used for counting or computing by touching them either to the bar or to a bead touching the bar. Any number from 0 to 15
could be represented by the beads on one dowel, although numbers greater than 9 would be carried to the next higher dowel. The Chinese called this device suan pan,
or counting table.

Around 1500, the wire and bead abacus spread from China to Japan, where it was called the soroban. The modern soroban has only one bead in heaven and four in
Earth, so 9 is the highest number that can be represented on a dowel.

The abacus does not multiply and divide as efficiently as it adds and subtracts. Multiplying when one of the factors is a small number can be done by repeated addition. It
is a little trickier to multiply by larger numbers. For example, to multiply 141 by 36, first multiply 141 by 3 by adding 141 three times. Then multiply that result by 10. In a
base-10 system, this would involve shifting each digit to the left to add a zero to the end. Then multiply 141 by 6, by adding 141 six times, and then add the two results
together to get the product of 141 and 36. The world would have to wait for a further mathematical development in order to have tools that could multiply, divide, raise
numbers to powers, and extract square roots.

Napier's Bones
The Scottish mathematician John Napier (1550 c.e.–1617 c.e.) wanted to simplify the work involved in calculations. He accomplished this by inventing a calculating
device, "Napier's bones," so-called because the better quality instruments were made of bone or ivory. Napier's bones consisted of flat rods with a number 0 through 9 at
the top of each. Underneath the top number on each bone are nine squares, each divided in half by a diagonal from upper right to lower left. The first square contains the
product of the number and 1, the second the product of the number and 2, and so on. The tens place is in the upper half, the units place in the lower half.

To multiply a multi-digit number by a single digit, the rods corresponding to the larger number are placed side by side. The solution is found in the row corresponding to
the multiplier. The rightmost digit of the product is in the lower half square of the rightmost rod. The next digit is the sum of the number in the upper half of the rightmost
rod and the lower half of the rod to its left, and so on. If a sum is more than 9, it is carried to the next higher digit; hence, the person using the rods must keep track of the
numbers to be carried.

Napier published a description of his invention in 1617, the year of his death. The bones became used widely in Europe and spread to China. Several improvements
were made to Napier's bones over the years. One was the Genaille-Lucas ruler, which was similar to Napier's bones but designed to eliminate the need to carry from one
digit to another. Napier's bones, and other related devices, could also be used for division and extracting square and cube roots. Napier's bones were used to build the
first workable mechanical adding machine in 1623.

Logarithms and the Slide Rule

Another of Napier's inventions—logarithms—had a more lasting effect on simplifying calculations than his mechanical multiplier.* Logarithms are exponents, the power to
which a number, such as 10 (called the base), is raised to yield a given number. Since exponents are added when two powers are multiplied together, the logarithm of a
product is the sum of the logarithms of the factors. Likewise, when one power is divided by another, the exponent of the divisor is subtracted from the exponent of the
dividend.

*John Napier was the first to use and then popularize the decimal point to separate the whole number part from the fractional part of a number.

Calculations using logarithms involve adding and subtracting instead of multiplying and dividing. Logarithms can also be used to raise numbers to powers or extract roots
by multiplying and dividing. Using logarithms replaces more complicated computations with simpler ones.

After Napier devised his system of logarithms, English mathematician Henry Briggs (1561–1631) developed extensive tables of logarithms. Within a few decades
scientists and mathematicians throughout the world were using logarithms for their calculations. Anyone using logarithms for computations had to use the tables to look
up the logarithm of each number in the calculation. This could be a tedious task (though not as tedious as calculations without logarithms), and the tables contained
errors.

But logarithms had yet another contribution to make. An English astronomy and mathematics teacher named Edmund Gunter (1581–1626) plotted logarithms of numbers
on a line (called Gunter's Line of Numbers) and multiplied and divided numbers by adding and subtracting lengths on the line.
An English clergyman named William Oughtred (1574–1660) refined Gunter's line by using two pieces of wood that slid against each other. Each piece of wood
contained a scale in which the distance of a number from the end of its line is proportional to its logarithm. To multiply two numbers, one of the numbers is lined up with 1
and the product appears opposite the other number. Division reverses the process. Unfortunately, the slide rule was not accurate to many decimal places. It also
required the user to keep track of where the decimal point belonged.

History of the civil engineering profession

The Falkirk Wheel in Scotland.Engineering has been an aspect of life since the beginnings of human
existence. The earliest practices of Civil engineering may have commenced between 4000 and 2000 BC in
Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia (Ancient Iraq) when humans started to abandon a nomadic existence, thus
causing a need for the construction of shelter. During this time, transportation became increasingly important
leading to the development of the wheel and sailing.

Until modern times there was no clear distinction between civil engineering and architecture, and the term
engineer and architect were mainly geographical variations referring to the same person, often used
interchangeably. The construction of Pyramids in Egypt (circa 2700-2500 BC) might be considered the first
instances of large structure constructions. Other ancient historic civil engineering constructions include the
Parthenon by Iktinos in Ancient Greece (447-438 BC), the Appian Way by Roman engineers (c. 312 BC), the
Great Wall of China by General Meng T'ien under orders from Ch'in Emperor Shih Huang Ti (c. 220 BC) and
the stupas constructed in ancient Sri Lanka like the Jetavanaramaya and the extensive irrigation works in
Anuradhapura. The Romans developed civil structures throughout their empire, including especially
aqueducts, insulae, harbours, bridges, dams and roads.

The Archimedes screw was operated by hand and could raise water efficiently.In the 18th century, the term
civil engineering was coined to incorporate all things civilian as opposed to military engineering. The first self-
proclaimed civil engineer was John Smeaton who constructed the Eddystone Lighthouse. In 1771 Smeaton
and some of his colleagues formed the Smeatonian Society of Civil Engineers, a group of leaders of the
profession who met informally over dinner. Though there was evidence of some technical meetings, it was
little more than a social society.

In 1818 the Institution of Civil Engineers was founded in London, and in 1820 the eminent engineer Thomas
Telford became its first president. The institution received a Royal Charter in 1828, formally recognising civil
engineering as a profession. Its charter defined civil engineering as:

The art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man, as the means of
production and of traffic in states, both for external and internal trade, as applied in the construction of roads,
bridges, aqueducts, canals, river navigation and docks for internal intercourse and exchange, and in the
construction of ports, harbours, moles, breakwaters and lighthouses, and in the art of navigation by artificial
power for the purposes of commerce, and in the construction and application of machinery, and in the
drainage of cities and towns. The first private college to teach Civil Engineering in the United States was
Norwich University founded in 1819 by Captain Alden Partridge. The first degree in Civil Engineering in the
United States was awarded by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1835. The first such degree to be awarded
to a woman was granted by Cornell University to Nora Stanton Blatch in 1905.

History of civil engineering

Pont du Gard, France, a Roman aqueduct built circa 19 BC.Civil engineering is the application of physical and
scientific principles, and its history is intricately linked to advances in understanding of physics and
mathematics throughout history. Because civil engineering is a wide ranging profession, including several
separate specialized sub-disciplines, its history is linked to knowledge of structures, materials science,
geography, geology, soils, hydrology, environment, mechanics and other fields.

Throughout ancient and medieval history most architectural design and construction was carried out by
artisans, such as stone masons and carpenters, rising to the role of master builder. Knowledge was retained
in guilds and seldom supplanted by advances. Structures, roads and infrastructure that existed were
repetitive, and increases in scale were incremental.
 One of the earliest examples of a scientific approach to physical and mathematical problems applicable to civil
engineering is the work of Archimedes in the 3rd century BC, including Archimedes Principle, which underpins
our understanding of buoyancy, and practical solutions such as Archimedes' screw. Brahmagupta, an Indian
mathematician, used arithmetic in the 7th century AD, based on Hindu-Arabic numerals, for excavation
(volume) computations.

Education and licensure

The Institution of Civil Engineers headquarters in LondonCivil engineers typically possess an academic
degree with a major in civil engineering. The length of study for such a degree is usually three to five years
and the completed degree is usually designated as a Bachelor of Engineering, though some universities
designate the degree as a Bachelor of Science. The degree generally includes units covering physics,
mathematics, project management, design and specific topics in civil engineering. Initially such topics cover
most, if not all, of the sub-disciplines of civil engineering. Students then choose to specialize in one or more
sub-disciplines towards the end of the degree. While an Undergraduate (BEng/BSc) Degree will normally
provide successful students with industry accredited qualification, some universities offer postgraduate
engineering awards (MEng/MSc) which allow students to further specialize in their particular area of interest
within engineering.

PICE HISTORY
On December 11, 1973, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Registration Certificate No.53896 to the
PHILIPPINE INSTITUTE OF CIVIL ENGINEERS, INC. (PICE). This was the culmination and fulfillment of a vision to
merge two separate organizations of civil engineers in the country, the Philippine Society of Civil Engineers (PSCE)
and the Philippine Association of Civil Engineers (PACE).

The Philippine Society of Civil Engineers (PSCE) was formed sometime in the late twenties by a group of civil
engineers mostly from the government sector. It was the country’s first civil engineering organization with the late
Engr. Marcial Kasilag as its first president. Engr. Kasilag holds the No.1 slot in the PRC Registry of Civil Engineers.
He then occupied a high-ranking position in the government and the early members of PSCE were government
engineers. There were relatively few civil engineers in private practice during that time as most of the early graduates
were readily engaged by the various government agencies.

In 1937, another group of civil engineers in the private sector, led by Enrique Sto. Tomas Cortes formed the Philippine
Association of Civil Engineers (PACE). Mr. Cortes was its first president. The major objectives of both associations
were similar: to elevate the standards of the profession, encourage research and engineering knowledge and
technology, foster fellowship among members, and promote interrelation with other technological and scientific
societies.
 The Philippine Association Civil Engineers (PACE) proved to be the more active between the two groups and this
resulted to the transfer of many PSCE members to PACE. PACE, under the leadership of President Alberto Guevarra,
was mainly responsible for the passage of Republic Act No. 544 otherwise known as the “Civil Engineering Law” in
1950. It was a milestone in establishing prestige and safeguarding the interest of the civil engineering profession in the
country.

It was sometime in 1972 under the administration of the late PACE President Cesar A. Caliwara when more serious
effort was exerted to merge the two societies. Panel representatives were designated by both organizations to
convene and start a series of talk. Leading members of PACE and PSCE, Eduardo Escobar, Pedro Afable, Angel
Lazaro, Jr., Andres Hizon, Ambrosio Flores, Tomas de Guzman, Lucas Agbayani, to mention a few ere involved in the
negotiation. The choice of a new name, formal accounting and turnover of assets and liabilities, accreditation of
bonafide members and election rules for the first officers were some of the concerns that were sooner resolved.

Finally, an election of the first officers and directors of the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers, Inc. (PICE) was held
sometime in February 1974 and Cesar A. Caliwara became the first President. During his term, the first International
convention was held in the Philippines on May 20 to 24,1975 with the theme ” Civil Engineering in Disaster Prevention
Control.” Proceedings in this convention were published into a book and sold to members and public. Also, the drive to
organize provincial chapters was intensified in order to truly unite the civil engineers of the country. Another historical
milestone was the accreditation (no. 007) of PICE by the Professional Regulation Commission on August 13, 1975 as
the only official recognized organization of civil engineers in the Philippines.

*Adopted in September 2001 as part of the Manual of Professional Practice for Civil Engineers published by the
Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers.

The Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers or PICE is a professional organization for civil engineers in the Philippines. It
was formed by merging two separate organizations of civil engineers: one group working from government sector and
the second group working in the private sector.[1][2]

Brief history
In the late 1920s, group of civil engineers from the government sector formed the Philippine Society of Civil Engineers
(PSCE) which was the first civil engineering organization in the Philippines with Engr. Marcial Kasilag as its first
president.[1][3]
In 1937, the Philippine Association of Civil Engineers (PACE) was formed. This time, it was a group of civil engineers
in the private sector with Engr. Enrique Sto. Tomas Cortes as its first president.[1]

The objectives of both organizations were similar with each other in which both of them wants to: "elevate the
standards of the profession, encourage research and engineering knowledge and technology, foster fellowship among
members, and promote interrelation with other technological and scientific societies".

The PACE being the most active than the PSCE led to the transfer of many PSCE members to PACE. In 1950,
Republic Act No. 544 (also known as the "Civil Engineering Law") was passed through the efforts of PACE President
Alberto Guevarra.[4]

In 1972, PACE President Engr. Cesar A. Caliwara, exerted a serious effort in merging the two organization. Leaders
of PACE and PSCE negotiated, and talked about the choice of name. Some concerns were raised such as formal
accounting and turnover of assets and liabilities, accreditation of bonafide members and election rules for the first
officers which were sooner resolved. These gave birth to the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers Inc. and on
December 11, 1973, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a registration certificate to the association.

In February 1974, the first election of officers was held and Engr. Cesar Caliwara became its first president. In order to
truly unite the civil engineers of the Philippines, provincial chapters were organized. On August 13, 1975, the
Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) recognized the PICE as the only official organization of civil engineers in
the Philippines.
