A Dream for the World Photo Credit: Chris Paine Photography A Dream for the World Shaesta Waiz just became the youngest woman ever to complete a solo trip around the world in a single engine air- craft. Shaesta is only 30 years old and in addition to her remarkable global achievements has founded Dreams Soar Inc., a non-profit organization with a mission to promote science, technology, engineering and mathe- matics (STEM) and aviation among the next generation of young women and professionals. Some have called her a modern-day Amelia Earhart because of her global accomplishments, passion for flying as well as her gender. Ms. Waiz was born in a refugee camp in Afghanistan in 1987 and then escaped the Soviet-Afghan war by relo- cating with her parents to Richmond, California, where she was raised with her five sisters. In 2011 while she stud- ied at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University she founded the Women’s Ambassadors Program as a mentor, boosting female enrollment at Embry- Riddle. This of course was paving the way for Dreams Soar and adventures to come. Shaesta is also the first certified civilian female pilot from Afghanistan where gender discrimination remains a huge problem. Shaesta wrote her graduate capstone project on the Beechcraft Bonanza A36 single engine aircraft which is regarded by many as one of the best aircraft for flying around the world.

    1 Charles Babbage 26 December 1791 (London, UK) – 18 October 1871 (London, UK) Life and Times Charles Babbage was born into a wealthy family, and started his mathematics education very early. By . 1811, when he went to Trinity College, Cambridge, he found that he knew more mathematics then his professors. He moved to Peterhouse, Cambridge from where he graduated in 1814. However, rather than come second to his friend Herschel in the final examinations, Babbage decided not to compete for an honors degree. In 1815 he co-founded the Analytical Society dedicated to studying continental reforms of Newton's formulation of “The Calculus”. He was one of the founders of the Astronomical Society in 1820. In 1821 Babbage started work on his Difference Engine designed to accurately compile tables. Babbage received government funding to construct an actual machine, but they stopped the funding in 1832 when it became clear that its construction was running well over-budget George Schuetz completed a machine based on the design of the Difference Engine in 1854. On completing the design of the Difference Engine, Babbage started work on the Analytical Engine capable of more general symbolic manipulations. The design of the Analytical Engine was complete in 1856, but a complete machine would not be constructed for over a century. Babbage's interests were wide. It is claimed that he invented cow-catchers for railway engines, the uniform postal rate, a means of recognizing lighthouses. He was also interested in locks and ciphers. He was politically active and wrote many treatises. One of the more famous proposed the banning of street musicians.

  • Lovelace & Babbage and the Creation of the 1843 'Notes'
    Lovelace & Babbage and the Creation of the 1843 ‘Notes’ John Fuegi and Jo Francis Flare/MITH Augusta Ada Lovelace worked with Charles Babbage to create a description of Babbage’s unbuilt invention, the Analytical Engine, a highly advanced mechanical calculator often considered a forerunner of the electronic calculating computers of the 20th century. Ada Lovelace’s “Notes,” describing the Analytical Engine, published in Taylor’s Scientific Memoirs in 1843, contained a ground-breaking description of the possibilities of programming the machine to go beyond number-crunching to “computing” in the wider sense in which we understand the term today. This article expands on research first presented by the authors in their documentary film, To Dream Tomorrow.

  • A Brief History of Computers
    History of Computers http://www.cs.uah.edu/~rcoleman/Common/History/History.html A Brief History of Computers Where did these beasties come from? Ancient Times Early Man relied on counting on his fingers and toes (which by the way, is the basis for our base 10 numbering system). He also used sticks and stones as markers. Later notched sticks and knotted cords were used for counting. Finally came symbols written on hides, parchment, and later paper. Man invents the concept of number, then invents devices to help keep up with the numbers of his possessions. Roman Empire The ancient Romans developed an Abacus, the first "machine" for calculating. While it predates the Chinese abacus we do not know if it was the ancestor of that Abacus. Counters in the lower groove are 1 x 10 n, those in the upper groove are 5 x 10 n Industrial Age - 1600 John Napier, a Scottish nobleman and politician devoted much of his leisure time to the study of mathematics. He was especially interested in devising ways to aid computations. His greatest contribution was the invention of logarithms. He inscribed logarithmic measurements on a set of 10 wooden rods and thus was able to do multiplication and division by matching up numbers on the rods. These became known as Napier’s Bones. 1621 - The Sliderule Napier invented logarithms, Edmund Gunter invented the logarithmic scales (lines etched on metal or wood), but it was William Oughtred, in England who invented the sliderule. Using the concept of Napier’s bones, he inscribed logarithms on strips of wood and invented the calculating "machine" which was used up until the mid-1970s when the first hand-held calculators and microcomputers appeared.

  • Ada and the First Computer
    Ada and the First Computer The collaboration between Ada, countess of Lovelace, and computer pioneer Charles Babbage resulted in a landmark publication that described how to program the world’s first computer by Eugene Eric Kim and Betty Alexandra Toole eople called Augusta Ada King’s father “mad and bad” for his wild ways, but he was better known as Lord Byron, the poet. Ada inherited her famous father’s P way with words and his zest for life. She was a beautiful, flirtatious woman who hobnobbed with England’s elite and who died at the youthful age of 36, the same age at which her father died. And like Byron, Ada is best known for something she wrote. In 1843 she published an influential set of notes that described Charles Babbage’s An- alytical Engine, the first automatic, general-purpose computing machine ever designed. Although the Analytical Engine was never built—largely because Babbage could not raise the funds for its construction—Ada’s notes included a program for using it to com- pute a series of figures called Bernoulli numbers [see box on page 78]. Ada’s notes established her importance in computer science, but her fascinating life and lineage—and her role as a female pioneer in a field in which women have always been notoriously underrepresented—have lately turned her into an icon. In addition to numerous biographies, she has inspired plays and novels written by the likes of such lu- minaries as Tom Stoppard and Arthur C. Clarke. Conceiving Ada, a movie loosely based on her life, was released by Fox Lorber in February.

  • “The Computer” “The from Tomecek M
    GRAB & GO EXCERPT TO WRITE ABOUT “The Computer” From What a Great Idea! Inventions That Changed the World by Stephen M. Tomecek Today computers are just about everywhere, from the ignition system of our cars to the tuners in our digital radios. Millions of us use personal computers in our homes for everything from video games to home finances. This very book was written on one! Although computers are thought of as modern, high-tech devices, they actually date back to 1822, when Charles Babbage, an English mathematician, was looking for an easier way to count numbers. How It Works To understand how the computer was invented, we must first define exactly what a computer is. Simply stated, it’s a programmable device that helps solve problems by processing information following a series of instructions. In 1812, Babbage came up with the idea of using punched cards to input data into an “analytical engine.” He built a series of calculators leading to his prototype machine. Unfortunately, Babbage’s groundbreaking ideas couldn’t be turned into reality due to the limits of the equipment of the day. Picking up on some of Babbage’s ideas, an American inventor named Herman Hollerith was determined to come up with a way of automatically tabulating census data. Hollerith had worked on the 1880 U.S. census and found it to be very time-consuming. By the 1890 census, he had a working device which used punched cards to input data via an electric card reader. Impact Through the early part of the twentieth century, electric calculators flourished, but they had their limits.
