Charles Babbage was born on December 26, 1792, in London. He studied at Trinity College, and became a professor of Mathematics at the Cambridge University.
The idea of mechanically calculating mathematical tables first came to Babbage in 1812 or 1813.
Later, Babbage developed plans for the so called ‘analytical engine’, the fore runner of the modern computer. For this invention Babbage is considered as the ‘Father of the Computer’.
Charles Babbage died on October 18, 1871.
