  • Charles Babbage

    Charles Babbage
    Charles Babbage was an Professor of Mathematics. He worked around the time period 1828 to 1839 for the development of the Analytical contribution. The term computer meant to him was an machine that does the tedious work of computation more accurately and faster. The Analytical Engine was his major contribution to computers, this would have been the worlds first computer but it never got off the ground.

  • Ada Lovelace

    Ada Lovelace
    Ada Lovelace was the first author of computer programs, she worked around the 1840s, this was the time when Lovelace's was published. Her major contribution to computers was calculating an arcane, brain-testing sequences of figures known as pernoullie numbers. Ada Lovelace published the Lovelace's translation, it was well-received

  • Alan Turing

    Alan Turing
    Alan Turing was one of the greatest mathematicians during the 20th century. During the 20th century was when he published the paper
    The term computer meant to him was practical universal computing machines. His major contributions was publishing the paper that became the foundation of computer programming, enlisted on computable numbers

  • Mauchly and Eckert

    Mauchly and Eckert in 1943 was around the time he created the invention of the ENIAC. The term computer meant to them was
    machine that would use electricity to think. Their main contribution was creating invention of the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC).

  • ENIAC Programmers

    ENIAC Programmers
    The ENIAC programmers began developing around the time period 1946. the computer term that meant to the designers of this program were computer that use electricity to think, their main contribution was the development of concepts like subroutines and nesting.

  • Grace Hopper

    Grace Hopper
    Grace Hopper worked around the late 1990, the computer term meant to her was a machine that did the same work. Grace major contribution was helping the development of the COBL one of the first high level programming languages and invented the first compiler a program that translates programming code to machine language.
