Charles BABBAGE was born on December 26, 1791 at Teignmouths, in Devonshire, in England. He died in 1871. This british mathematician was the precursor of data processing.
Charles was the first to state the principle of the computer. He worked a great part of his life, to the construction of mechanic computer, what called the machine with differences. It never managed to complete it, but a mechanism part is exposed at the museum of the Science in London. In 1991, to leave of his plans. One could rebuild a part of this machine, what functioned perfectly. For to rebuild, it used the tolerances what were available to the XIXe century, was carries us to believe that it could have been built the alive one BABBAGE, subject having a sufficient driving force and rather resistant metals.
Charles presents a model of his machine with differences at the Royal Company of Astronomy in 1821. The target of the machine is to calculate the polynomials, while using a method of calculating, said differential method. The company approves this project and asked to british government him to grant a purse of £1500 in 1823.
Begin then the construction of this machine, what will never be supplemented. There were two problems. Firstly, the caused friction by the clutchs of time and the vibration was also a constant problem. Secondly, BABBAGE modified also the design of his project regurlarly. In 1833, £17000 had been spent to the project without any satisfactory results.
