Charles Babbage's Computer

His machines were considered the first computers in history. He made 2 different engines; the first engine was called the Difference Engine, and the Analytical Engine. The DIfference Engine could multiply or add but also could create tables of the results of up to seven-degree polynomial functions (cs.stanford.edu). Both of these engines were worked on between 1833-1871 ( howstuffworks.com).
