Johann Gutenberg (Mainz, Germany; c. 1387-1468) . Invented the movable metal-type printing process in 1450. B. The first general purpose (computers) -John Napier – introduces logarithms. He invents logs in 1614. Logs allow multiplication and division to reduced to addition and subtraction. -Wilhelm Shickard – a professor at the University of Tubingen, Germany, invents the first mechanical calculator, it can work with six digits, and carries digits across columns. It works but never beyond the prototype stage. -William Oughtred, an English clergyman, invented the slide rule. Early example of an analog computer. -Blaise Pascal – a French Mat...
