FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -The Babbage Analytical Engine, 1833, is considered the first steam-powered computer. Charles Babbage is considered by many to be the ‘Father of the Computer’ and his assistant, Lady Ada Lovelace, the ‘First Computer Programmer’ because she wrote mathematics problems for Babbage’s machines.

Detailed explanation-2: -The engine would have been steam-driven and programmed by the punched cards. The engine was designed in great detail on paper but it was never completed.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Analytical Engine was to be a general-purpose, fully program-controlled, automatic mechanical digital computer. It would be able to perform any calculation set before it. There is no evidence that anyone before Babbage had ever conceived of such a device, let alone attempted to build one.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Analytical Engine was a proposed mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English mathematician and computer pioneer Charles Babbage. It was first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage’s difference engine, which was a design for a simpler mechanical calculator.

Detailed explanation-5: -The machine on the drawing boards at the Science Museum in London is the Babbage Analytical Engine, a room-size mechanical behemoth that its inventor envisioned but never built.
