RAMÓN VEREA
BIOGRAFÍA
  Naceu en Curantes (A
Estrada), Pontevedra o 11
de decembro de 1833 e
morreu en Bos Aires o 6
de febreiro de 1899. Foi
un escritor e inventor
galego. Logo de estudar en
Santiago de Compostela
emigrou a Cuba , onde
traballou como mestre e
escribiu dúas novelas La
cruz de piedra e Una
mujer con dos maridos.
BIOGRAFÍA
En 1865  trasládase a
Nova York , onde
inventará a súa máquina de
calcular. O goberno
americano concedeulle a
patente o 10 de setembro
 de 1878 , o mesmo ano no
que gañou unha medalla da
Exposición Mundial de
Inventos de Cuba.
BIOGRAFÍA
Tras un tempo trasládase de
novo a Guatemala , exiliado
pola súa forte oposición á
política colonialista
americana, e despois a Bos
Aires . Nesa cidade fundaría
a revista O Progreso, e
seguiría publicando e
exercendo de xornalista.
Morreu só e pobre na capital
arxentina , sendo soterrado
nun panteón anónimo do
camposanto do Oeste. Na
actualidade atópase un busto
na igrexa de Curantes.
A súa calculadora era unha máquina
duns 23 quilos de peso, 35
centímetros de longo, 30 centímetros
de ancho e 20 de alto, capaz de
sumar, multiplicar e dividir números
de nove cifras, admitindo ata seis
números no multiplicador  e quince
no produto . A multiplicación resolvíaa
mediante un método directo baseado
nun mecanismo patentado por Edmund
D. Barbour en 1872 , que empregaba
un sistema que obtiña valores duna
táboa de multiplicar codificada de
xeito similar ao sistema Braille .
O aparello podía resolver
                            698.543.721 x 807.689 en vinte
                            segundos, unha velocidade
                            sorprendente para a época.
                            Porén, Verea non perseguía máis
                            que demostrar que os españois
                            podían inventar igual que os
                            americanos, polo que o seu
                            invento só deixou pegada na
                            historia da computación como
                            base para futuras máquinas,
                            como a de Otto Steiger.
