Charles Babbage KH FRS (/bbd/; 26 December 1791 18 October 1871) was

an English polymath.[1] A mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical

engineer, Babbage is best remembered for originating the concept of a digital
programmable computer.[2]
Considered by some to be a "father of the computer",[2][3][4][5] Babbage is credited
with inventing the first mechanical computer that eventually led to more complex
electronic designs, though all the essential ideas of modern computers are to be
found in Babbage's analytical engine.[2][6] His varied work in other fields has led
him to be described as "pre-eminent" among the many polymaths of his century.[1]
Parts of Babbage's uncompleted mechanisms are on display in the Science
Museum in London. In 1991, a perfectly functioning difference engine was
constructed from Babbage's original plans. Built to tolerances achievable in the 19th
century, the success of the finished engine indicated that Babbage's machine would
have worked.
Herman Hollerith: Herman Hollerith made a major contribution to the development of
the modern digital computer with his tabulating machine. An early model of his
invention was first used in 1890 to tabulate medical statistics gathered by the United
States Army. That same year, the United States Census Bureau adopted Holleriths
tabulating system for its 1890 census. His tabulating machine used punch card
invented in the early 1800s, by a French silk weaver called Joseph-Marie Jacquard.
His device could automatically read information which had been punched into card.
He is also a founder of IBM Company which is still popular.
Lady ada
the daughter of famed poet Lord Byron, Augusta Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace
better known as "Ada Lovelace"was born in London on December 10, 1815.
Ada showed her gift for mathematics at an early age. She translated an article on an
invention by Charles Babbage, and added her own comments. Because she
introduced many computer concepts, Ada is considered the first computer
programmer. Ada died on November 27, 1852.

Blaise Pascal (/pskl, pskl/;[3] French: [blz paskal]; 19 June 1623 19

August 1662) was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer
and Catholic theologian. He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father, a
tax collector in Rouen. Pascal's earliest work was in the natural and applied
sciences where he made important contributions to the study of fluids, and clarified
the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalising the work of Evangelista
Torricelli. Pascal also wrote in defence of the scientific method.

In 1642, while still a teenager, he started some pioneering work on calculating

machines. After three years of effort and 50 prototypes, [4] he built 20 finished
machines (called Pascal's calculators and later Pascalines) over the following 10
years,[5]establishing him as one of the first two inventors of the mechanical
calculator.[6][7]
