Explanation

Blaise Pascal invented the Pascaline in 1642, considered one of the first mechanical calculators. It could perform addition and subtraction using geared wheels. While William Oughtred invented the slide rule earlier, Pascal's device was an early calculating machine. Newton and Einstein were physicists, not known for calculator inventions, and 'Einsten' appears to be a typo.
