Extractions: Wilhelm Schickard Wilhelm Schickard lebte von 1592 bis 1635. Er erfand die erste "Rechenmaschiene" im Dreißigjährigen Krieg (1623). Die Rechenmaschine des Tübingers konnte automatisch addieren, subtrahieren, multiplizieren und dividieren. In einem Brief an Kepler zeichnete er seine Maschine. Die Maschine arbeitete mit Zahnrädern. Zu jeder Dezimalstelle der Additionseinrichtung dieser Rechenmaschine gehörte ein Rad mit zehn Zähnen, das Zählrad. Auf dem Umfang dieser Zählräder (A , A , A , ...) standen die Ziffern 0-9. Jeder Zahn entsprach also einer Ziffer. Auf der Achse jedes Zählrades saß ein weiteres Rad mit nur einem Zahn, das Übertragsrad. Dieses Rad war für den Übertrag auf die nächste Zehnerstufe (Zehnerpotenz) zuständig. Der Übertragszahn (Ü , ...) drehte über ein weiteres Rad (B , B , B ,...) das nächste Zählrad. Das Funktionsprinzip (s. Abb. links): Die Schickardsche Rechenmaschine hätte damals für die astronomischen Berechnungen ein gutes Werkzeug sein können. Man konnte mit ihr addieren, subtrahieren und - im oberen Teil - multiplizieren und dividieren. Leider arbeitete die Maschine niemals zuverlässig. Die Anforderungen an die Genauigkeit überstiegen die damaligen feinmechanischen Möglichkeiten. Ein Nachbau der Rechenmaschine von Wilhelm Schickard made by Blazej Lebek (15.5.2000)

Extractions: Version for printing Wilhelm Schickard His research was broad and included astronomy, mathematics and surveying. He invented many machines like one to calculate astronomical dates and one for Hebrew grammar. He also made significant advances in mapmaking, showing how to produce maps which were far more accurate than those which were currently available. Long before Pascal and Leibniz , Schickard invented a calculating machine in 1623 which was used by Kepler . He wrote to Kepler suggesting a mechanical means to calculate ephemerides. Schickard corresponded with many scientists including Boulliau Gassendi and Kepler Among his other skills, Schickard was renowned as an engraver both in wood and in copperplate. Schickard died of the plague either on the day given above or, possibly, one day earlier.

Extractions: Wilhelm Schickard's Mechanical Calculator As was previously noted, determining who invented the first mechanical calculator is somewhat problematical. Many references cite the French mathematician, physicist, and theologian, Blaise Pascal as being credited with the invention of the first operational calculating machine called the Arithmetic Machine However, Pascal's claim to fame notwithstanding, the German astronomer and mathematician Wilhelm Schickard wrote a letter to his friend Johannes Kepler about fifteen years before Pascal started developing his Arithmetic Machine. (Kepler, a German astronomer and natural philosopher, was the first person to realize (and prove) that the planets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits.) a In his letter, Schickard wrote that he had built a machine that "... immediately computes the given numbers automatically; adds, subtracts, multiplies, and divides ". Unfortunately, no original copies of Schickard's machine exist, but working models have been constructed from his notes. a See also: Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical calculator John Napier and Napier's Bones Blaise Pascal's Arithmetic Machine Gottfried von Libniz's Step Reckoner ...

Extractions: II. First edition. These letters, mostly from Schickard to Bernegger, are largely devoted to Schickard's collaboration with Kepler. The correspondence commences in 1620, with an account of an eclipse of the moon observed by Kepler and Schickard. Schickhard discusses the progress of Kepler's discoveries, and, after 1630, the posthumous influence of Kepler. There are references to Galileo and generally the Copernican cause. Finally, there is considerable discussion of astronomical observations and the preparation of astronomical data and calculations, the issues that led Schickard to devise one of the earliest functional calculators. Schickhard was a skilled mechanic, cartographer, and engraver in wood and copperplate; and he wrote treatises on Semitic studies, mathematics, astronomy, optics, meteorology, and cartography. He invented and built a working model of the first modern mechanical calculator and proposed to Kepler the development of a mechanical means of calculating ephemerides. Schickard's works on astronomy include a lunar ephermeris, observations of the comets of 1618, and descriptions of unusual solar phenomena (meteors and the transit of Mercury in 1631)...

http://www.cs.cuw.edu/museum/Schickard.html

Extractions: It is widely believed that the first mechanical calculating device was created by the French mathematician Blaise Pascal in 1642. However, that distinction actually belongs to Wilhelm Schickard, a university professor and Lutheran minister. Schickard was born on April 22nd, 1592 in Herrenberg, Germany. Little is known about his early life. He attended the University of Tübingen, earning a B.A. in 1609 and M.A. in 1611. In 1613, he became a Lutheran minister, serving several towns around Tübingen. He served in this capacity until 1619, when he was appointed Professor of Hebrew at the University of Tübingen. He taught Biblical languages until 1631, when he became Professor of Astronomy. In 1623, Schickard built a mechanical device which could perform mathematical operations. In a letter to Johannes Kepler, written on September 20, 1623, Schickard described his machine as follows: What you have done by calculation I have just tried to do by way of mechanics. I have conceived a machine consisting of eleven complete and six incomplete sprocket wheels; it calculates instantaneously and automatically from given numbers, as it adds, subtracts, multiplies and divides. You would enjoy to see how the machine accumulates and transports spontaneously a ten or a hundred to the left and, vice-versa, how it does the opposite if it is subtracting ... Unfortunately, the only two original copies of Schickard's machine were lost, one in a fire and one after his death from plague in 1635. However, in the 1950s, scholars who were collecting the works of Kepler found, tucked into a book, Schickard's original drawings of his device. This made it possible for Professor Bruno Baron von Freytag Loringhoff of the University of Tübingen to reconstruct Schickard's calculator.
