Computer [pic] A computer is a programmable machine that receives input‚ stores and automatically manipulates data‚ and provides output in a useful format. The first electronic computers were developed in the mid-20th century (1940–1945). Originally‚ they were the size of a large room‚ consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs).[1] Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines‚ and occupy

In the world of Engineering and Technology‚ each day sees a spate of new concepts and applications‚ and each passing day seems to make them obsolete. This galloping pace of technological evolution has a direct bearing on practical applications‚ making it mandatory for today ’s engineers to keep abreast of the latest developments. I have always had an inherent and overwhelming desire to design and innovate and this propelled me to opt for a career in engineering. In Computers‚ the tremendous scope

History of generations of Computers The computers that you see and use today hasn’t come off by any inventor at one go. Rather it took centuries of rigorous research work to reach the present stage. And scientists are still working hard to make it better and better. But that is a different story. First‚ let us see when the very idea of computing with a machine or device‚ as against the conventional manual calculation‚ was given a shape. Though experiments were going on even earlier

Prof. Hurst Zuse (http://www.epemag.com/zuse/) Following shortly after Z3‚ Britain’s Colossus in 1943 and two years later America came up with another system ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) Years later in 1956 John Von

The History of Pi Throughout the history of mathematics‚ one of the most enduring challenges has been the calculation of the ratio between a circle’s circumference and diameter‚ which has come to be known by the Greek letter pi. From ancient Babylonia to the Middle Ages in Europe to the present day of supercomputers‚ mathematicians have been striving to calculate the mysterious number. They have searched for exact fractions‚ formulas‚ and‚ more recently‚ patterns in the long string of numbers

Brief History of Library Automation: 1930-1996 An automated library is one where a computer system is used to manage one or several of the library’s key functions such as acquisitions‚ serials control‚ cataloging‚ circulation and the public access catalog. When exploring the history of library automation‚ it is possible to return to past centuries when visionaries well before the computer age created devices to assist with their book lending systems. Even as far back as 1588‚ the invention of
