Triumph of the Nerds: An excellent doc
This episode looks at the path the series will take, who think like tally sticks, the abacus, jetons, and other early mathematical technologies came to us. There's a look at early mechanical calculators by the likes of Blaise Pascal, Hans Egli, William Seward Burroughs, and more. Plus, an extended look at Charles Babbage (not the father of computing) and Ada Lovelace (Not the mother of software)
