The first mechanical calculator is attributed to Blaise Pascal, who invented the Pascaline in 1642. This device was designed to perform basic arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction. However, earlier counting devices, such as the abacus, have been used for centuries before Pascal's invention. Therefore, while Pascal is often credited with creating the first mechanical calculator, the concept of calculation has a much older history.
