Book-I: COMPUTING MACHINES

By Dr. Luke J. Turgeon P.E.

BOOK-I COMPUTING MACHINES Computing machines are being used in many applications such as accounting, engineering, publishing, imaging, and communications, by people globally. This reference book covers the information necessary to understand the inner workings of these computing machines, beginning with the abacus[1] from thousands of years ago to current computing machines such as computers, calculators, cameras, and telephones. The introduction chapter provides an overview of the entire volume, including a synopsis of each chapter. Chapters 2-10 provide a deeper and more in depth look into each subject. The information and explanations provided describes the design, construction, and operation of the machines; including, the underlying mathematics, the constructions of electronic devices that perform the arithmetic, and the implementation of human friendly interfaces. Each aspect of the machine's functions is illustrated with examples. The book serves as both an introduction for beginners and a reference book for those who seek a better understanding of the foundations of computing machines. Future book publications, in this series, will present additional details in areas of computing machines introduced in this book. For example, BOOK-II will describe the design and fabrication of switches used to build computing machines. This book is especially suited for technically minded individuals of all ages.
