  • @Quandary92 I wanted to give some idea of a historical perspective without going into anyone but main computing people. It does say 'very' brief history!

  • While a good review, this is some what lacking in the mathematics behind the creation of the computer, stepping from an abacus to Babbage is equivalent to stepping from simple multiplication and division to second order differential equations. However, the information in it is accurate and well presented. Good.

  • @lkw1287 Thanks a lot. That's a great review.

  • Well done, enjoyed it.
