The First Computer Development

The first suggestion that a machine for mathematical computation could be built, was made more than a hundred years ago by mathe­matician Charles Babbage. We now realize that he understood clearly all the fundamental principles of modern digital computers.

Babbage was born in Devonshire, England, in 1792. He did not receive a good education, but he taught himself mathematics so well that when he went to Cambridge he found that he knew more algebra than his tutor.

At that time mathematics in Cambridge was still under the influence of Newton and was quite unaffected by the contemporary developments on the Continent.

Babbage was outstanding among his contemporaries because he insisted on the practical application of science and mathematics.

In 1833 he began to think of building a machine which was, in fact, the first universal digital computer. Babbage devoted the rest of his life to an attempt to develop it. He had to finance the whole of the work himself, and he was only able to finish part of the machine though he prepared thousands of detailed drawings from which it could be made.

Babbage wrote more than eighty books and papers, but he was misunderstood by his contemporaries and died a disappointed man in 1871. He tried to solve by himself and with his own resources a series of problems which in the end required the united efforts of two genera­tions of engineers.

After his death his son continued his work and built part of an arithmetic unit which printed out its results directly on paper.
