Book Synopsis Calculation and Computation in the Pre-electronic Era by : Aristotle Tympas
Download or read book Calculation and Computation in the Pre-electronic Era written by Aristotle Tympas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although it is popularly assumed that the history of computing before the second half of the 20th century was unimportant, in fact the Industrial Revolution was made possible and even sustained by a parallel revolution in computing technology. An examination and historiographical assessment of key developments helps to show how the era of modern electronic computing proceeded from a continual computing revolution that had arisen during the mechanical and the electrical ages. This unique volume introduces the history of computing during the “first” (steam) and “second” (electricity) segments of the Industrial Revolution, revealing how this history was pivotal to the emergence of electronic computing and what many historians see as signifying a shift to a post-industrial society. It delves into critical developments before the electronic era, focusing on those of the mechanical era (from the emergence of the steam engine to that of the electric power network) and the electrical era (from the emergence of the electric power network to that of electronic computing). In so doing, it provides due attention to the demarcations between—and associated classifications of—artifacts for calculation during these respective eras. In turn, it emphasizes the history of comparisons between these artifacts. Topics and Features: motivates exposition through a firm historiographical argument of important developments explores the history of the slide rule and its use in the context of electrification examines the roles of analyzers, graphs, and a whole range of computing artifacts hitherto placed under the allegedly inferior class of analog computers shows how the analog and the digital are really inseparable, with perceptions thereof depending on either a full or a restricted view of the computing process investigates socially situated comparisons of computing history, including the effects of a political economy of computing (one that takes into account cost and ownership of computing artifacts) assesses concealment of analog-machine labor through encasement (“black-boxing”) Historians of computing, as well as those of technology and science (especially, energy), will find this well-argued and presented history of calculation and computation in the mechanical and electrical eras an indispensable resource. The work is a natural textbook companion for history of computing courses, and will also appeal to the broader readership of curious computer scientists and engineers, as well as those who generally just have a yearn to learn the contextual background to the current digital age. "In this fascinating, original work, Tympas indispensably intertwines the histories of analog and digital computing, showing them to be inseparable from the evolution of social and economic conditions.

Book Synopsis Engineering Problem Solving by : Milton C. Shaw
Download or read book Engineering Problem Solving written by Milton C. Shaw and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-09-27 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering, at its origins, was a profession of problem solving. The classic text, Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences by Galileo Galilei is revisited in this ambitious and comprehensive book by Milton Shaw. In-depth discussions of passages from the Galileo text emphasize the ""mind set"" of engineering, specifically the roles played by experimentation and dialog in analysis and creativity. In the epilogue, the author points out that engineering students are usually exposed to two types of faculty. The first type is mathematically oriented and mostly interested in analytical solutions. The second type is interested in devising and experimenting with innovative solutions. However, since many talented graduates move directly into teaching instead of gaining real world experience, an imbalance of analytical teaching has occurred. Shaw points out through an example by Dr. Dave Lineback that learning to solve practical engineering problems is a very important part of an engineer's education, but is often denied due to expense and time and effort required. This book fills in many of the gaps in engineering education by showing students, and professionals, the historical background of problem solving.Among those who will find this book particularly useful are engineers working in cross-disciplinary capacities, such as mechanical engineers working with electrical engineering concepts or polymeric materials, engineers preparing for professional engineering exams, mid-career engineers looking to broaden their problem-solving skills, and students looking for help growing their skills.

Book Synopsis Thacher's Calculating Instrument Or Cylindrical Slide-Rule by : Edwin Thacher

This book was released on 2017-08-18 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFACE. The ordinary slide-rule, or Gunter's scale, invented many years ago, for approximation or a rough check on ordinary calculation, has been found of great utility. It is, however, unfitted for the more exact calculations of the engineer, architect, and actuary, and does not satisfy all the requirements of scientific investigation or of financial transactions. The value of the slide-rule as a calculator depends upon the accuracy of its results, upon the rapidity with which those results can be found, upon the variety of its useful applications, and upon the small amount of mental and physical effort required in the solution of problems. With any form of slide-rule the results are necessarily approximate, the degree of approximation depending upon the length of scales, the care observed in their manufacture, and the material used. With the ordinary construction and material it is not practicable to make such length of scales as will give results beyond the third place, which latter is frequently in doubt, the doubt being still further increased by the unequal shrinkage of the material of which it is made, usually boxwood. The ordinary rule in use is 12 inches long, with radii of n and 5 DEGREES inches, . the divisions of which are cut by hand, copying from a machinedivided plate. In the present instrument the radii are 60 and 30 feet, the divisions of which are printed directly from machine-divided plates. These plates contain over 33,000 divisions, calculated to seven places of decimals from Babbage, s tables by using a common multiplier, every line being subjected to correction for error of screw and temperature variation, so that possibly every line centre is within .0001 inch of its true place. The plates contain over 17,000 engraved figures. The work was executed by W. F. Stanley, of London, upon a dividing-machine made expressly for this rule, the diamond point used for cutting the divisions being moved by a screw of 50 threads per inch, reading by micrometer to .000001 inch. It was a work requiring much time, care, and skill. The framework of this rule is of metal throughout, therefore not injuriously affected by variations in temperature nor moisture, no time, pains, or expense having been spared to make the instrument in every way reliable; the scales, being of great length, will give results correctly to four, and usually to five, places of figures, sufficient to satisfy nearly every requirement of the professional and business man. A knowledge of its use is readily acquired. The rules following a1e general, simple, and easily remembered. After once becoming familiar with the movements results are obtained with almost incredible rapidity; ordinary calculations, and complicated formulae involving roots and powers, being solved with nearly equal facility....
