∙ 14y agoWhat may be considered the first electronic computer was called the Atanasoff-Berry Computer. A test model was created in 1940, and the computer itself was completed in May 1942. There were many calculating machines that existed prior to then. Charles Babbage developed a couple calculating machines that were purely mechanical, though neither was completed. The difference engine was his first idea, and it neared completion, before he attempted to abandon it for the analytical machine. The design of the analytical machine was later shown to work almost perfectly, but Babbage could not get funding for its construction. Charles Babbage lived in the late 18th century on into the 19th century. His design for the analytical machine inspired several later designs that were fathers to our modern electronic computers.
Also, note that prior to what we now call computers, the term computer referred to a person who did calculations. Thus, computers have been around for about as long as mathematics.
