Holes, lamps, and electric circuits

Early data processing

Besides the regular public tours of the Arithmeum’s collection at 11 am and of the art exhibition at 3 pm, there will be special thematic guided tours for families on all four Sundays during advent. These tours will take about one hour and are meant to give families with children starting school next year or older the opportunity of discovering the exciting world of mathematics and art in a simple way.

Holes, lamps, and electric circuits – Guided tour for families on early data processing

Counting can be done with more than only your fingers! More than one hundred years ago the American population was already counted using holes and electricity. During this tour the mechanism of these kind of machines and how they were wired will be explained. In the end we will conduct our own little „family-census“.
