He invented many machines like one to calculate astronomical dates and one for Hebrew grammar. He also made significant advances in mapmaking, showing how to produce maps which were far more accurate than those which were currently available. Long before Pascal and Leibniz , Schickard invented a calculating machine in 1623 which was used by Kepler . He wrote to Kepler suggesting a mechanical means to calculate ephemerides. Schickard corresponded with many scientists including Boulliau Gassendi and Kepler Among his other skills, Schickard was renowned as an engraver both in wood and in copperplate. Schickard died of the plague either on the day given above or, possibly, one day earlier.

Wilhelm Schickard It is widely believed that the first mechanical calculating device was created by the French mathematician Blaise Pascal in 1642. However, that distinction actually belongs to Wilhelm Schickard, a university professor and Lutheran minister. Schickard was born on April 22nd, 1592 in Herrenberg, Germany. Little is known about his early life. He attended the University of Tübingen, earning a B.A. in 1609 and M.A. in 1611. In 1613, he became a Lutheran minister, serving several towns around Tübingen. He served in this capacity until 1619, when he was appointed Professor of Hebrew at the University of Tübingen. He taught Biblical languages until 1631, when he became Professor of Astronomy. In 1623, Schickard built a mechanical device which could perform mathematical operations. In a letter to Johannes Kepler, written on September 20, 1623, Schickard described his machine as follows: What you have done by calculation I have just tried to do by way of mechanics. I have conceived a machine consisting of eleven complete and six incomplete sprocket wheels; it calculates instantaneously and automatically from given numbers, as it adds, subtracts, multiplies and divides. You would enjoy to see how the machine accumulates and transports spontaneously a ten or a hundred to the left and, vice-versa, how it does the opposite if it is subtracting ... Unfortunately, the only two original copies of Schickard's machine were lost, one in a fire and one after his death from plague in 1635. However, in the 1950s, scholars who were collecting the works of Kepler found, tucked into a book, Schickard's original drawings of his device. This made it possible for Professor Bruno Baron von Freytag Loringhoff of the University of Tübingen to reconstruct Schickard's calculator.

It precedes the less versatile Pascaline of Blaise Pascal and the calculator of Gottfried Leibniz by several decades. Schickard's letters to Johannes Kepler show how to use the machine for calculating astronomical tables. Schickard's machine, however, was not programmable.

1625 AD Wilhelm Schickard's Mechanical Calculator As was previously noted, determining who invented the first mechanical calculator is somewhat problematical. Many references cite the French mathematician, physicist, and theologian, Blaise Pascal as being credited with the invention of the first operational calculating machine called the Arithmetic Machine However, Pascal's claim to fame notwithstanding, the German astronomer and mathematician Wilhelm Schickard wrote a letter to his friend Johannes Kepler about fifteen years before Pascal started developing his Arithmetic Machine. (Kepler, a German astronomer and natural philosopher, was the first person to realize (and prove) that the planets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits.) a In his letter, Schickard wrote that he had built a machine that "... immediately computes the given numbers automatically; adds, subtracts, multiplies, and divides ". Unfortunately, no original copies of Schickard's machine exist, but working models have been constructed from his notes. a See also: Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical calculator John Napier and Napier's Bones Blaise Pascal's Arithmetic Machine Gottfried von Libniz's Step Reckoner ...

Java 3D-Simulation of the Schickard Calculator from 1623 Introduction Installation Applet Problems ... Editorial Introduction The Schickard Calculator is the first known mechanical calculator to add, subtract, multiply and divide. It was invented by the German professor Wilhelm Schickard in 1623, but remained unknown for 300 years. In 1960 it was reconstructed by Baron Bruno von Freytag-Löringhoff. In this study work a simulation of the reconstructed calculator was done using a Java 3D-applet. This makes it possible to perform calculations like Schickard did, watch the calculator from any view point you like and even gain an insight view of case. Look at some screen shots in our small picture gallery On this page you will find everything you need to start the applet and much more... Explore the fascinating world of the Schickard Calculator!
