Charles Babbage, born December 26, 1792, is a British mathematician who first proposed the idea of a programmable computer. Some advanced machines can now be seen at the Science Museum in London. Year 1991, using Babbage's original plans, the difference engine was developed and this machine can function perfectly well, shows that Babbage the idea of this machine can be effectively implemented. Charles Babbage died October 18, 1871 at the age of 79 years, when children, Benjamin Herschel Babbage (1815), Charles Whitmore Babbage (1817), Georgiana Whitmore Babbage (1818), Edward Stewart Babbage (1819), Francis Moore, Babbage (1821), Dugald Bromheald Babbage (1823), Henry Prevost Babbage (1824), Alexander Forbes Babbage (1827), Timothy grant Babbage (1829).
History of the computer is started when the British inventor Charles Babbage completed the general principles of use of digital computers century before the development of large electronic calculating machines occur. Machinery, he designed, which gave the name of "analytical engine" in principle capable of a modern calculator can do (but not as fast, because "the machinery analyst" has not been designed for electric powered). Unfortunately, since the nineteenth-century technology has not advanced far enough, Babbage was unable to complete the construction "analysts machine" that also can not help but take time and cost. After his death, his ideas are so bright it was almost forgotten.
In 1937, Babbage written by Howard H. Aiken, a graduate degree at Harvard. Aiken also tries filling machine design, driven by the idea of Babbage. In cooperation with IBM, could Aiken Mark I, the first computer for all purposes. Two years after I start Mark (1946), a group of engineers and other inventors completed the ENIAC, the first electronic calculators. Since then, developed the computer technology advances quickly.
Computing machines have a great influence in the world will become even more important in the future, contribute to the development of the Babbage team spirit is not much larger than that of Aiken or in place of John Mauchly and Eckert DO (the main character in the design of the ENIAC). On the basis that there are at least three predecessors Babbage (Blaise Pascal, Leibniz, and Joseph Marie Jacquard) have donated the equivalent of Babbage. Pascal, mathematician, philosopher and French scientists discovered the sum of mechanical machines in 1642.
In the year 1671 Gottfired Wilhelm von Leibniz, philosopher and mathematician who designed the machine can add, subtract, divide the time. Leibniz was also the first to demonstrate the importance of "binary", which is the sum of a system of "double digit", which, in this modern era is widespread in the engine computer. And the other French, Jacquard, who in the early 19th century, has used computers to monitor the burden of business. Jacquard loom, which sells heavy-duty vehicles, had a great influence on the thought of Babbage. It can also affect Herman Hollerith, an American in the late 19th century through the computer system pricing make columns of data in the Census Bureau.
