FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -In 1833 Ada Lovelace met the mathematician Charles Babbage, who had designed a calculating machine called the Difference Engine. Lovelace was inspired by the prototype of the Difference Engine and became Babbage’s lifelong friend. Babbage had a new project in mind, a much more-advanced machine, the Analytical Engine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ada Lovelace is famous for her account of the ‘Analytical Engine’, which we now recognise as a steam-powered programmable computer, designed by nineteenth-century polymath Charles Babbage, but never built.

Detailed explanation-3: -Charles Babbage (1791-1871), computer pioneer, designed two classes of engine, Difference Engines, and Analytical Engines. Difference engines are so called because of the mathematical principle on which they are based, namely, the method of finite differences.

Detailed explanation-4: -Charles Babbage, 1791–1871 Invented the Analytical Engine, the world’s first mechanical computer. Also invented the cowcatcher and the universal postage rate.

Detailed explanation-5: -Why is Ada Lovelace famous? Ada Lovelace is considered the first computer programmer. Even though she wrote about a computer, the Analytical Engine, that was never built, she realized that the computer could follow a series of simple instructions, a program, to perform a complex calculation.
