ID : 11638   
« back to classes page
For centuries humans calculated by hand or by using an abacus. In 1610, logarithms were invented. Just ten years later the slide rule was born and the development of the modern computer began. Rich Wilders will trace the history of computation from early mechanical devices to the modern day wonders you can buy for fifteen dollars.
