Is a abacus still used today?
Yes.
Is the compass still used today?
Yes. People (and vehicles) still need to know where they are going.
How is the Fibonacci sequence used today?
used for supermarkets
What is the old math tool D shaped ruler?
It sounds like you are thinking of a protractor. We still use it a lot today, especially in architecture and design. The protractor is a semi-circular measuring instrument used for measuring angles.
What is a caculator?
an expert at calculation (or at operating calculating machines)a small machine that is used for mathematical calculations
Why is the machine gun still used today?
What do you mean? It is used because it still does its job.
Is the reaper machine still used today?
ding dings rock
What is the name for a turning machine?
The correct term is "Turing machine," named after mathematician Alan Turing. It is a theoretical device that manipulates symbols on a strip of tape according to a table of rules, used to simulate the logic of a computer algorithm.
What is abacuss?
it is an ancient counting machine used in China, it is still in use today
Is the shoe Laster still used today?
The shoe laster is a machine that is used to attach the sole and body of the shoe together. This machine was invented by a shoemaker by the name of Jan Ernst Matzeliger. The shoe laster is still used by fine shoe craftsmen today.
Are machine guns still used today?
Yes, and they're still serving a very essential role in the battlefield.YesYes
What contributions to computing did Alan Mathison Turing provide?
In short, Turing answered the Entscheidungsproblem (Hilbert) with a negative. Then went on to develop the theoretical Turing Machine: a tape reader head that responds to inputted symbols and rewrites the answers back onto the tape. The Turing machine was able to answer mathematical computations in a true or false manner. He developed algorithms to solve the German Enigma during the second world war, when he worked for the British government at Bletchley Park. He put all his previous knowledge together, and understood that a single algorithm/machine could not be developed for each task, a general purpose computer was necessary to fulfill the requirements of the cryptography and mathematical branch. He developed the colossus computer, generally considered the first digital computer, along with Zusse and Von Neuman's work, the title is contested! Due to his contributions Turing's name was put to the award for computing excellence, basically the Nobel Prize for computing. The Turing Test is still used today, to show how computers and humans respond differently to logic problems and complex computations, proving that a machine cannot behave like a human.
Which year did Alan Turing make his computer?
In the year 1936, The Turing machine was developed featuring computability and was considered a universal machine. I do not agree. There is no such thing as "the Turing machine", at least not as a material machine. It is a purely theoretical machine, it features, among other things a tape of infinite length. Turing did help in building Colossus, a system used to break German ciphers, but I think this was in 1943. He also worked on the so-called bombs which were a further development of a Polish code-breaking approach (see related link). Who built the first computer is, however, subject of a lot of debate. Turing was certainly one of the first to describe the concept of computability mathematically using his theoretical machine.
What is the name of the machine that removes seeds from the cotton?
It is called a cotton gin and is still used today in a modernized form.
What was the impact of Alan Turing's enigma machine?
Turing did not work on the Enigma, it was a German machine. However he did do some work on the British Bombe machines that were used to crack the Enigma machine cipher. Later he saw Tommy Flowers' Colossus electronic computer, designed to crack the German Lorenz SZ40/42 machine cipher. This inspired him after the end of the war to begin work on programmable electronic computers.
What was Alan Mathison Turing known for?
Alan Turing was an English mathematician. During World War 2 he worked on decyphering secret messages and invented a Turing Machine, that became the basis of modern computing.Turing provided an influential formalisation of the concept of the algorithm and computation with the Turing machine. With the Turing test, he made a significant and characteristically provocative contribution to the debate regarding artificial intelligence: whether it will ever be possible to say that a machine is conscious and can think.Turing machine - hypothetical computer used as part of his proof of the "Halting Problem" used in his paper "On Computable Numbers" to show that there are problems that are not solvable by any computer, even one with infinite memory and time.Cryptographic work in WW2.Early british postwar computer work.Being homosexual.Losing his British security clearances after WW2 for being homosexual.Suicide over loss of clearances and career.Dec 24, 2013 - Computer pioneer and codebreaker Alan Turing is given a posthumous royal pardon for his 1952 conviction for homosexuality.
Is the hair wave machine invented by Marjorie Joyner still in use today?
The wave machine is not used anymore and is now a thing we like to call hair curler.
