  • John Napier ( 1550 1617 ) John Napier is best known as the inventor of logarithms. He also invented the so- called "Napier's bones" and made common the use of the decimal point in arithmetic and mathematics.
  • Slide 17
  • NAPIER'S BONES In 1617 an eccentric Scotsman named John Napier invented logarithms, which are a technology that allows multiplication to be performed via addition. The magic ingredient is the logarithm of each operand, which was originally obtained from a printed table. But Napier also invented an alternative to tables, where the logarithm values were carved on ivory sticks.

  • Herman Hollerith (February 29, 1860 November 17, 1929) An American statistician and inventor who developed a mechanical tabulator based on punched cards to rapidly tabulate statistics from millions of pieces of data. He was the founder of the Tabulating Machine Company that later merged to become IBM. Hollerith is widely regarded as the father of modern automatic computation.
  • Slide 43
  • Hollerith machine
  • Slide 44
  • The first automatic data processing system. It was used to count the 1890 U.S. census. Developed by Herman Hollerith, a statistician who had worked for the Census Bureau, the system used a hand punch to record the data as holes in dollar-bill-sized punch cards and a tabulating machine to count them. The tabulating machine contained a spring-loaded pin for each potential hole in the card. When a card was placed in the reader and the handle was pushed down, the pins that passed through the holes closed electrical circuits causing counters to be incremented and a lid in the sorting box to open.

  • Telephone Network in Computing PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network is simply the technical name for the telephone system in use today ISDN Stands for "Integrated Services Digital Network." ISDN dates back to 1984, and allows much faster transfer rates than when using modems. Using ISDN, you can transfer 64K or 128K of data per second
  • Slide 168
  • Telephone Network in Computing ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line is a technology for transmitting digital information at a high bandwidth on existing phone lines to homes and businesses ADSL provides continuously-available, "always on" connection ADSL is asymmetric in that it uses most of the channel to transmit downstream to the user and only a small part to receive information from the user ADSL simultaneously accommodates analogue (voice) information on the same line
  • Slide 169
  • Telephone Network in Computing and Understand the Terminology Digital vs. Analogue A digital system uses 1 or 0 to transmit data or to represent data. Thus a digital clock will display whole seconds, whole minutes and whole hours An analogue system, such as a traditional clock, does not use multiples of 1 or 0, but rather uses the full range of numbers, including fractions. In this way an analogue clock can display fractions of a second Baud rate The baud rate tells you how fast a modem can send/receive data. Most modern modems have a maximum baud rate of 56 Kilobits per second (Kb/sec)
  • Slide 170
  • Telephone Network in Computing and Understand the Terminology Modem Short for MODulate/DEModulate. The modem sends information from your computer across the telephone system The modem at the other end of the phone line, converts the signal back into a format that can be used by the receiving computer
  • Slide 171
  • Telephone Network in Computing and Understand the Terminology Transfer rate In data communications, bits per second (bps) is a common measure of data speed for computer modems and transmission carriers The speed in bps is equal to the number of bits transmitted or received each second One kilobit per second (abbreviated to kbps) is equal to 1,000 bps Computer (dial-up) modems usually operate at 57.6 kbps ADSL services offer 256 or 512 Kbps (or faster)

  • A virus is a piece of programming code usually disguised as something else that causes some unexpected and usually undesirable event Some viruses are playful in intent and effect and some can be harmful, erasing data or causing your hard disk to require reformatting Computer Viruses
  • Slide 173
  • Generally, there are three main classes of viruses: 1.File infectors Some file infector viruses attach themselves to program files Some can infect any program for which execution is requested Other file infector viruses arrive as wholly-contained programs or scripts sent as an attachment to an e- mail note Computer Viruses
  • Slide 174
  • types of virus Generally, there are three main classes of viruses: 2. System or boot-record infectors These viruses infect executable code found in certain system areas on a disk They attach to the DOS boot sector on diskettes or the Master Boot Record on hard disks

  • types of virus A Trojan horse is a program in which malicious or harmful code is contained inside apparently harmless programming or data in such a way that it can get control and do its chosen form of damage, such as ruining the file allocation table on your hard disk A Trojan horse may be widely redistributed as part of a computer virus
  • Slide 178
  • types of virus A worm is a self-replicating virus that does not alter files but resides in active memory and duplicates itself
  • Slide 179
  • when and how viruses can enter a computer system As a file attached to an e-mail message Via instant messengers such as AOL, Yahoo!, MSN and Windows Messenger On an infected diskette As a download via the internet By hackers gaining access to your computer via a communications port
  • Slide 180
  • anti-virus measures Do not open e-mail attachments unless they are from a trusted source Install a firewall program such as ZoneAlarm (free from www.zonelabs.com) Buy anti-virus software that can screen e-mail attachments Keep anti-virus software up to date on a weekly basis Schedule regular virus scans of hard drives Install all the critical Windows updates from Microsoft Be aware of hoax e-mail warnings
  • Slide 181
  • what to do when a virus infects a computer Viruses should be detected by up to date anti-virus software The software will normally attempt to repair (or disinfect) the file, delete it or quarantine it Virus removal tools can be downloaded via the internet (e.g. from www.symantec.com)
