Their first product, the HP 200A A Called the “Model K” Adder because he built it on his Oscillator, rapidly became a popular piece of test equipm “Kitchen” table, this simple demonstration circuit provides for engineers.

The Z3 was used for aerodynamic calculations but was destroyed in a bombing raid on Berlin in late 1943. Zuse later supervised a reconstruction of the Z3 in the 1960s, which is currently on Operator at Complex Number Calculator (CNC) display at the Deutsches Museum in Munich. -

Les tables de calcul ou tablettes furent développées probablement en Mésopotamie et n'étaient à l'origine que des lignes tracées dans le sable. On pouvait utiliser les colonnes ainsi formées pour donner différentes valeurs aux cailloux selon leur position. Les supports physiques de ces tables se diversifièrent en utilisant la pierre, la terre cuite, le bois ou le marbre. La plus ancienne table à calculer connue a été découverte en 1846 dans l'île grecque de Salamine et est faite de marbre. Elle date approximativement du quatrième siècle avant J.C. Le mot abaque, chez les grecs abax, akos (tablettes servant à calculer) devient abacus chez les romains. Il était constitué d’une table recouverte de sable sur laquelle on dessinait à l’aide d’un stylet, les calculs pouvant être effacés au fur et à mesure en lissant avec la main.

Né le 19 juin 1623 à Clairmont (aujourd'hui Clermont-Ferrand) en Auvergne, mort le 19 août 1662 à Paris, est un mathématicien, physicien, inventeur, philosophe, moraliste et théologien français. À 19 ans , il invente la première machine à calculer et après trois ans de développement et 50 prototypes, il la présente à ses contemporains en la dédiant au chancelier Séguier . Dénommée machine d’arithmétique, puis roue pascaline et enfin pascaline, il en construisit une vingtaine d'exemplaires dans la décennie suivante. -
