The
year
1837 is significant in the
history of computing
primarily due to the work of
Charles Babbage
, an English
mathematician
and inventor. In that
year
, he proposed the design for the
Analytical Engine
, which is considered one of the
first
concepts
of
a
general-purpose
computer
. The
Analytical Engine
was designed to be
a
mechanical device capable of performing any
calculation
that could be described algorithmically.
