Product Description
Written but never published during his lifetime, this memoir of the founding father of computing is an indispensable primary source of information about Babbage's personal character and work. It brings to light his astonishingly wide range of interests, from mathematics to political economy and social reform, and dispels the myth of an "irascible" and "eccentric" personality, helping to clarify Babbage's position in the history of science.Buxton's memoir was written between 1872 and 1880 and is volume 13 in the Charles Babbage Institute Reprint Series for the History of Computing. ...

Product Description
Although Charles Babbage's complex calculating machines were unique in their time, there is no full description of them. Instead, Babbage, who preferred to spend his time on design and construction, collected the various contemporary writings on his work and when he died, his son completed the collection. These assembled papers discuss Babbage's Difference Engine, which he invented in 1821 to solve the practical problem of finding a means to reliably compute the many tables needed for navigation, and his Analytical Engine, which anticipated the logical conceptions of modern digital computers. The book includes extensive catalogs of drawings and "notations" for the Analytical Engine and the first published account of Babbage's achievement by the military engineer Menabrea and its translation into English by Babbage's enthusiastic sponsor Ada (Lady) Lovelace the most important paper in the history of digital computing before modern times.: The book includes examples of Babbage's curious Mechanical Notation and several diagrams that were missing from the original edition. It is Volume II in the Charles Babbage reprint series: and was originally published in 1889 by E. and F. N. Spon, London. ... Read more

November 1879 in Cambridge) war ein schottischer Physiker. Er entwickelte einen Satz von Gleichungen (die Maxwellschen Gleichungen), welche die Grundlagen der Elektrizitätslehre und des Magnetismus bilden. Zudem entdeckte er die Geschwindigkeitsverteilung von Gasmolekülen (Maxwell-Verteilung). Er veröffentlichte die erste Farbfotografie als Nachweis für die Theorie der additiven Farbmischung. Maxwell war der letzte Repräsentant der jüngeren Linie der bekannten schottischen Familie Clerk of Penicuik. Mit 27 heiratete er Katherine Mary Dewar. Die Ehe blieb kinderlos. Maxwell starb im Alter von 48 Jahren in Cambridge an Magenkrebs. Maxwell wird im Allgemeinen als der Naturwissenschaft...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=30390 ... Read more

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Charles Babbage (* 26. Dezember 1791 in Walworth, Grafschaft Surrey, England; † 18. Oktober 1871 in London) war ein englischer Mathematiker, Philosoph, Erfinder und Politischer Ökonom. Die von ihm entworfene mechanische Rechenmaschine Analytical Engine gilt als Vorläufer des modernen Computers. Untrennbar damit verbunden ist seine enge Mitarbeiterin Ada Lovelace, die unter anderem die Programmierung der Maschine in der Theorie beschrieb und daher als erste Programmiererin gilt (die Programmiersprache Ada wurde nach ihr benannt). ...

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : John von Neumann (né Neumann János, 1903-1957), mathématicien et physicien américain d'origine hongroise, a apporté d'importantes contributions tant en mécanique quantique, qu'en analyse fonctionnelle, en théorie des ensembles, en informatique, en sciences économiques ainsi que dans beaucoup d'autres domaines des mathématiques et de la physique. Il a de plus participé aux programmes militaires américains. Benjamin d'une fratrie de trois, il s'appelle tout d'abord Neumann János Lajos (les Hongrois placent les noms de famille en tête) à Budapest en Autriche-Hongrie. Il est le fils de Neumann Miksa (Max Neumann), un avocat-banquier, et de Kann Margit (Marguerite Kann). Il ne prête guère attention à ses origines juives, sinon pour son répertoire de blagues. János est un enfant prodige : à six ans, il converse avec son père en grec ancien et peut mentalement faire la division d'un nombre à huit chiffres. Une anecdote rapporte qu'à huit ans, il a déjà lu les quarante-quatre volumes de l'histoire universelle de la bibliothèque familiale et qu'il les a entièrement mémorisés : doté d'une mémoire eidétique, il sera capable de citer de mémoire des pages entières de livres lus des années auparavant....http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...
