SHORT NOTES
ABACUS
The first known mechanical calculating device was called the Abacus, which originated in China. It consisted of a wooden frame with rods containing beads, and was divided into two sections known as “Heaven” and “Earth”. This device was primarily used for performing calculations.
Boolean logic
George Boole developed a way of solving math problems by asking questions that can be answered with “yes” or “no”. He then linked these questions to the binary system, where “yes” is represented by 1 and “no” by 0. This method, known as Boolean logic, is used to design computer circuits.
