Pascal created his Pascaline, or mechanical calculator, at the age of 21. The boxy machine used a system of gears, numbered discs, and wheels to conduct calculations. It could add and subtract mechanically. It could divide or multiply only through labor-intensive repetition. It is considered one of the most important devices in Renaissance mathematics.
