Arithmetic Replica This calculating machine was invented in Germany by a German mathematician. This machine was a modified version of Pascaline. This machine could divide and multiply as well as add and subtract.
The Analytical & Differential computer The fast mechanical computer was invented by Prof.Charles Babbages . He is also known as father of computers. Both his machines could perform all arithmetical calculations .
