A proper name used attributively; Charles Babbage (1791-1871) was an English mathematician and inventor who designed the Difference Engine and Analytical Engine, pioneering computer concepts.
Charles Babbage invented the computer 100+ years before electricity—his Analytical Engine had programmable instructions and memory, making him technically the first computer programmer (his collaborator Ada Lovelace wrote the first algorithm).
