:: Theory and history
:- The first step towards the creation of computer was made by an English mathematics professor Charles Babbage.
Figure :- Difference engine
:- He realised that all mathematical calculations can be broken up to simple operations which are the than constantly repeated and these operations could be carried out by an automatic machine.
:- 1820s Charles Babbage started working on a "difference engine".
:- After 10 years he abandoned.
:- Charles Babbage outline the basic elements of a modern propose computer which was bases on the method of finite difference.
:- Only uses arithmetical additions and remove.
:- The need for multiplication and division which are more difficult to implement.
:- Charles Babbage is called the father of computer.
