Richard Brathwait

From compute + -er. Doublet of cantore, counter, and kontor.
Sense 1 first attested in 1613 by the poet Richard Brathwait. Sense 2 first attested in 1897 in the Engineering magazine.

As well as saving the photos on my computer, I have them backed up on a USB drive.

David is a computer expert.

Janet works at the computer store.

A programmable electronic device that performs mathematical calculations and logical operations, especially one that can process, store and retrieve large amounts of data very quickly; now especially, a small one for personal or home use employed for manipulating text or graphics, accessing the Internet, or playing games or media.

calculator

[ˈkʰæɫ.kjəˌleɪ̯.ɾɚ]

In the sense of a person, from Middle English calkelatour (“mathematician, astrologer”), borrowed from Latin calculātor, equivalent to calculate + -or. The other meanings arose in Modern English.

inh

person who performs mathematical calculations

A mechanical or electronic device that performs mathematical calculations.

គណិតចរ

kĕəʼnetaʼ cɑɑ

ܚܲܫܘܼܒ݂ܘܿܢܵܐ

mechanical device that performs mathematical calculations


analyst

A mathematician who studies real analysis.

A financial analyst; a business analyst.


logician

/ləˈd͡ʒɪʃən/

From Middle English logicien, logissian, from Old French logicien. Equivalent to logic + -ian.

“To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are.” ― “The Greek Interpreter”, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 1894

It is not unknown for a logician to talk about exes and wyes.

1997, John Trotter, System of Rational Discourse, page 22:

These two treatments of the predicate are typical of the two traditions in traditional logic—the intensional and the extensional traditions. Logicians who can be counted among the intensional logicians are Gottfried Leibniz, Johann Lambert, William Hamilton, Stanley Jevons, and Hugh MacColl. Among the extensional logicians are George Boole, Augustus De Morgan, Charles Peirce, and John Venn.

2011 July 20, Edwin Mares, “Propositional Function”, in The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, retrieved 2012-07-15:


mathematician

From Middle English mathematicion, from Middle French mathematicien, from mathematique f sg (“mathematics”) (from Latin mathēmatica, feminine of mathēmaticus, from Ancient Greek μαθηματικός (mathēmatikós, “fond of learning”), from μάθημα (máthēma, “knowledge, learning”) + -ικός (-ikós)) + Middle French -ien (from Latin -iānus). Displaced native Old English rīmcræftiga. By surface analysis, mathematic + -ian.

der

I suspect that in their hearts most working mathematicians are Platonists, in that they take it as a matter of unassailable if unprovable fact that mathematical reality stands apart from the world, and is at least as real as the world, and possibly gives shape to the world, as Plato suggested. Most mathematicians would probably agree that the ratio of the circle to its diameter exists brilliantly in the nature beyond nature, and would exist even if the human mind was not aware of it, and might exist even if God had not bothered to create it.

1992 March 2, Richard Preston, “The Mountains of Pi”, in The New Yorker:

An expert on mathematics; someone who studies mathematics.


statistician

A person who compiles, interprets, or studies statistics.


cryptanalyst

From crypt- + analyst ≈ cryptanalysis + -ist.

An expert in analyzing and breaking codes and ciphers.

cryptanalyste

an expert in analyzing and breaking codes


cryptographer

A person who is an expert on creating codes and cyphers. Someone who studies cryptology.

cryptanalyst

someone expert in breaking codes and cyphers


arithmetician

/əˌɹɪθməˈtɪʃ(ə)n/

From Middle French arithmeticien; equivalent to arithmetic + -ian.

[F]or certes, ſayes he, / I haue already choſen my officer, and what was he? / Forſooth, a great Arithmeticion, [...]

c. 1603–1604 (date written), William Shakespeare, The Tragœdy of Othello, the Moore of Venice. […] (First Quarto), London: […] N[icholas] O[kes] for Thomas Walkley, […], published 1622, →OCLC, [Act I, scene i], page 1:

I haue read the truest computer of Times, and the best Arithmetician that euer breathed, and he reduceth thy dayes into a short number: The daies of Man are threescore and ten.

1613, Richard Brathwait, The Yong Mans Gleanings, page 1:

But I'll tell you one thing; it's a Question that would puzzle an Arithmetician, if you ſhould ask him, whether the Bible ſaves more Souls in Weſtminſter-Abby, or damns more in Weſtminſter-Hall: […]

1695, [William] Congreve, Love for Love: A Comedy. […], London: […] Jacob Tonson, […], →OCLC, Act IV, scene vi, page 59:

Bonoro. What said he? / Tycho. That he would say but three words and follow me. I heard him say a hundred, and sing a thousand: Lovers are bad arithmeticians.

1774, David Garrick, A Christmas Tale, Part 2, Scene 1, page 13:

You talk of figures, now; you have only to say to Stelling, ‘I want my son to be a thorough arithmetician,’ and you may leave the rest to him.

1860, George Eliot [pseudonym; Mary Ann Evans], “Mr Riley Gives His Advice Concerning a School for Tom”, in The Mill on the Floss […], volume I, Edinburgh, London: William Blackwood and Sons, →OCLC, book I (Boy and Girl), page 33:
