Charles Babbage - Computer Inventor First time


 Charles Babbage was born on December 26, 1791 in Southwark London, and died on 18 October 1871 at the age of 79. Son of Benjamin Babbage, a Banker. Babbage has advantages in mathematics. Charles Babbage was known as the inventor of the first computer, which is now the basic human need of all the work in the world.

 Charles Babbage was a British mathematician who first discovered the idea of a programmable computer. In those days, calculations using mathematical tables often went wrong, because it was so difficult. With more simple and easy, Charles Babbage wanted to develop a way of doing calculations mechanically, so as to reduce the errors of calculations that are often done by humans. At that time, Babbage got inspiration from the development of calculating machine worked by Wilhelm Schickard, Blaise Pascal, and Gottfried Leibniz. The first idea of Charles Babbage counting machine was written in the form of a letter he wrote to the Royal Society of Astronomy entitled "Note on the application of machinery to the computation of astronomical and mathematical tables."
