Zine Monument on Charles Babbage
Biography: Born: December 26, 1791 at London England Died: October 18, 1871 at London England
As a son of a banker, he loved mathmatics specifically algebra. He taught himself multiple of math subjects due to his passion, which led him into Trinity College in Cambridge. During his stay at the Trinity College, he would participate in groups that involved with mathmatics, which would lead him into his greatest invention of the Analytical Machine.
Contribution: Charles Babbage involved himself in a bunch of math related groups, which would help him found two groups named the Royal Astronomical Society (1820) and the Analytical Society (1812).
As his passion and his involvement of math grew, he was recognized by the government to help advance math. It would lead him into his greatest invention...
Significance:
The Analytical Machine!
With the assistance of the difference engine (It performed an astronomical amount of numbers while storing them), the analytical machine was born! The purpose of the analytical machine was to read loom cards through its reader, calculate the cards through a mill, store data in the storage, then printed the results through a miller. Although his invention was not finished, it would form itself into what we know as “The Computer.”
