1700: Pre-Steampunk? - The Staffelwalze, or Stepped Reckoner, a digital calculating machine invented by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz around 1672 and built around 1700.  It was the first known calculator that could perform all four arithmetic operations; addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. 67 cm (26 inches) long. The cover plate of the rear section is off to show the wheels of the 16 digit accumulator.

In 1673, Leibniz built the first true four-function calculator. His unique, drum-shaped gears formed the basis of many successful calculator designs for the next 275 years, an unbroken record for a single underlying calculator mechanism. Leibniz built several versions of the Stepped Reckoner over about 45 years. Only one survives today.

También en el siglo XIX el matemático e inventor británico Charles Babbage elaboró los principios de la computadora digital moderna. Inventó una serie de máquinas, como la máquina diferencial, diseñadas para solucionar problemas matemáticos complejos. Muchos historiadores consideran a Babbage y a su socia, la matemática británica Augusta Ada Byron (1815-1852), hija del poeta inglés Lord Byron, como a los verdaderos inventores de la computadora digital moderna. La tecnología de aquella época…
