Answer this.
1. How did you learn to count?
2. When did you learn to
count?
3. Why counting is
important?
Lesson 01
COMPUTER EDUCATION I
The word computer is

derived from the Latin word
‘computare’, which means ‘to
calculate’, ‘to count’, ‘to
think’, or ‘to sum up’.
1. From counting on fingers

2. To pebbles
3. To hash marks on walls
4. To hash marks in sand
ABACUS
1. ABACUS
❑ An early aid for mathematical
computations
❑ The first calculating device
❑ Slides the beads up and down
on the rods to add and subtract.
2. NAPIER’S BONES AND

LOGARITHMS

LOGARITHMS
❑ Invented by John Napier
❑ He invented the logarithms which use
lookup tables to find the solution to
otherwise tedious and error-prone
mathematical calculations.

LOGARITHMS
❑Napier also invented an alternative to tables,
where the logarithm values were carved on
ivory sticks which are now called
Napier's Bones.
3. Oughtred’s (1621) and Schickard‘s

(1623] Slide Rule
3. Oughtred’s (1621) and Schickard‘s

(1623] Slide Rule
❑ Napier's invention led directly to the slide
rule, first built in England in 1632 and still in
use in the 1960's by the NASA engineers of
the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs
which landed men on the moon.
❑ The slide rule works on the basis of
logarithms.
4. Blaise Pascal’s Pascaline (1645)

4. Blaise Pascal’s Pascaline (1645)

❑ Famous French philosopher and
mathematician who invented the first
digital calculator to help his father with
his work collecting taxes. It could add
and subtract by the simple rotation of
dials on the machine’s face.
5. Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibnitz’s Stepped

Reckoner (1674)
5. Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibnitz’s Stepped

Reckoner (1674)
❑ Leibnitz managed to build a four-
function (addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division) calculator
that he called the stepped reckoner.
6. Joseph-Marie Jacquard and his punched

card controlled looms (1804)

❑ Joseph-Marie Jacquard was a weaver.
He was very familiar with the
mechanical music boxes and pianolas,
pianos played by punched paper tape,
which had been around for some time.

❑ One day he got the bright idea of adapting
the use of punched cards to control his looms.
Jacquard revolutionized patterned textile
weaving. His invention also provided a model
for the input and output of data in the electro-
mechanical and electronic computing industry.
7. Charles Babbage (1791-1871) The

Father of Computers Difference Engine

❑ By 1822 the English mathematician

Charles Babbage was proposing a
steam driven calculating machine the
size of a room, which he called the
Difference Engine.

❑ This machine would be able to

compute tables of numbers, such as
logarithm tables.
❑ He is the called as the “Father of
Computer”
8. Charles Babbage’s Analytic Engine

❑ Babbage was not deterred, and by
then was on to his next brainstorm,
which he called the Analytic Engine.
❑ This device, large as a house and

powered by 6 steam engines
8. Charles Babbage’s Analytic Engine

❑ It was programmable, thanks to the punched
card technology of Jacquard.
❑Babbage saw that the pattern of holes in a

punch card could be used to represent an
abstract idea such as a problem statement or
the raw data required for that problem's
solution.
9. Lady Augusta Ada

9. Lady Augusta Ada
❑ She was a brilliant mathematician who

helped Babbage in his work.
❑She also wrote programs to be run on

Babbage’s machines.
❑She is recognized as the first computer

programmer.

COMPUTER EDUCATION I
I. Matching Type. Match the early calculating devices in column A with its name in
column B. Write your answer on your answer sheet.
II. Modified True or False. Write TRUE if the statement is correct. Otherwise,
underline the word that makes it false and write the word/s to make the statement
true.
________ 1. Abacus was the first calculating device.
________ 2. Napier's Bones were used to collect the census data
and were fed into a sorting machine before
being read by the census counting machine.
________ 3. Lady Augusta Ada is the first computer programmer.
________ 4. Howard Aiken is the “Father of Computers”.
________ 5. Blaise Pascal is a philosopher and mathematician
who invented the first digital calculator to help his father with
his work collecting taxes.
II. Modified True or False. Write TRUE if the statement is correct. Otherwise,
underline the word that makes it false and write the word/s to make the statement
true.
________ 6. An example of mechanical computer is
counting on fingers.
________ 7. Babbage realized that punched paper could be
employed as a storage mechanism, holding
computed numbers for future reference.
________ 8. Before humans invented machines to help
them count or do math, they used whatever was at
hand.
________ 9. John Napier designed and built the Slide Rule.
________ 10. Joseph-Marie Jacquard adapted the use of
punched cards to control his looms.
Lesson 01
1. What are the machines invented classified as

electro-mechanical computers and electronic
digital computers?
2. Who are the famous computer programmers
under electro-mechanical computers and
electronic digital computers?
3. How did early inventions of computer help
today’s versions of computers?
