  • Charles Babbage

    Charles Babbage was the Grandfather of the computer/calculator. He's fields were Mathematics, analytical philosophy, and computer science. He was born in London at December 26, 1791 and died on 18 October 1871 (aged 79). He made the calculator that calculates until 6 decimal place. It could add, subtract, multiply and divide. He designed the first general purpose of a computer. It was called Analytical Engine. It had Calculating unit, memory, input device, control section and the printer.
