ENIAC (/ ˈ ɛ n i æ k /; Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) [1] [2] was the first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer, completed in 1945. [3] [4] Other computers had some of these features, but ENIAC was the first to have them all.
Do miana pierwszego elektronicznego komputera na świecie pretenduje także komputer ABC [2] (od ang. Atanasoff-Berry Computer), zbudowany w Iowa State University na wydziale Computer Science [3] przez Johna Vincenta Atanasoffa i Clifforda Berry’ego w latach 1937–1942.
ENIAC, the first programmable general-purpose electronic digital computer, built during World War II by the United States and completed in 1946. The project was led by John Mauchly, J. Presper Eckert, Jr., and their colleagues. ENIAC was the most powerful calculating device built to that time.
20 paź 2023 · We could argue that the first computer was the abacus or its descendant, the slide rule, invented by William Oughtred in 1622. But many people consider English mathematician Charles Babbage's analytical engine to be the first computer resembling today's modern machines.
24 sty 2022 · In fact, English mathematician Ada Lovelace wrote an algorithm — what was essentially the world’s first ever computer program — for it in 1843. After becoming fascinated by the device while translating a French paper on it, she went on to create sets of instructions that would enable the machine to compute Bernoulli numbers.
The first electronic digital computers of a century later lacked this ability. It was remarkable that a young scholar realized its importance in 1840, and it would be 100 years before anyone would understand it so well again.
Konrad Ernst Otto Zuse (German: [ˈkɔnʁaːt ˈtsuːzə]; 22 June 1910 – 18 December 1995) was a German civil engineer, pioneering computer scientist, inventor and businessman. His greatest achievement was the world's first programmable computer; the functional program-controlled Turing-complete Z3 became operational in May 1941.
