- There were many mechanical analog computers from the 1890s through the 1950s doing many different calculations, it is hard to document "firsts" among these machines.
- There were many electronic analog computers from the 1930s through the 1970s doing many different calculations, it is hard to document "firsts" among these machines.
- The first electronic digital computer was only designed to solve systems of simultaneous equations of up to 29 variables, it ran (with problems) in early 1942.
- The first programmable electronic digital computer was only designed to break the German High Command's teletype cipher, it ran in late 1943 and 9 more improved versions of it were running by early 1945.
- The first general purpose programmable electronic digital computer was only designed to calculate firing tables for artillery pieces, it ran in late 1945 but its first real calculation was to simulate Edward Teller's "Classical Super" hydrogen bomb design (proving that design would not work). This machine saw close to 20 more years of use calculating firing tables for many artillery pieces before being retired and replaced with newer computers.

Which computer was used to design the first H-Bomb?
ENIAC was first used in calculations for the hydrogen bomb
Who made the computer when did they make it and why did they make it?
The first programmable computer was created by Konrad Zuse and was completed in 1938. Zuse worked as a design engineer in an aircraft factory and found the numerous routine calculations required to be boring. His dream of having a machine that could perform these routine calculations, led him to create the first programmable computer.
When was computer introduced and what is the purpose of computer?
Computers were first invented to perform calculations that were complex or repetitive in nature, in order to make human life easier.
How big were the first computer and what kinds of calculations did it perform?
8 feet by 3 feet by 100 feet
Calculations in a Word table are performed similarly to?
spreadsheet
What is the computer that first performed calculations at a very high speed?
the abc
Which computer was used to design the first H-Bomb?
ENIAC was first used in calculations for the hydrogen bomb
What need did the first computer meet?
Basic math calculations
How big was the worlds computer?
people were the first computers. all they did was repeated calculations.
What is the order in which calculations are performed in a formula?
The order in which calculations are performed in a formula is called the order of operations.
What was the first computer used for calculation?
The first computer used for calculation is highly dependent on what you consider a computer to be. In many views, the first computer used for calculations was the abacus which dates back to 2400 BC.
Was there games on the first computer made?
No the first computer was meant for calculations and was extremely difficult to use, expensive, and large. It also did not have the GUI that you know of today.
What Calculations were made with the first computer?
Computers use binary numbers. This is ones and zeros.
The order in which calculations are performed in a formula is called the?
The order in which calculations are performed in a formula is called the order of operations.
What was the Z3-first computer designed to do?
Perform engineering calculations. Konrad Zuse was a civil engineer.
Which civilization invented the first computer?
The Greeks are assumed to have invented the first known computer circa 100BC, a mechanical analog computer for astronomical calculations assumed to be used as a navigational aid on ships.
simple calculations?
in simple calculations we use + - × ÷ in computer like sum average min and max
