Some motivating quotes might be:
if controversies were to arise, there would be no more need
of disputation between two philosophers than between two
calculators.
For it would suffice for them to take their pencils
in their HAnDS and to sit down at the abacus, and say to each
other (and if they so wish also to a friend called to help): Let
us calculate."
- Gottfried Leibniz
"The Analytical Engine might act upon other things besides number,
were objects found whose mutual fundamental relations could be
expressed by those of the abstract science of operations, and
which should be also susceptible of adaptations to the action of
the operating notation and mechanism of the engineā¦ Supposing, for
instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds in the
science of harmony and of musical composition were susceptible of
such expression and adaptations, the engine might compose
elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of
complexity or extent."
- Ada Lovelace
