Developed Chomsky hierarchy, directly impacting programming language theory and other branches of computer science. 1936 Church, Alonzo: Made fundamental contributions to theoretical computer science, specifically in the development of computability theory in the form of lambda calculus.
Computer science: Charles Babbage Alan Turing: In the history of computer science Babbage is often regarded as one of the first pioneers of computing and Turing invented the principle of the modern computer and the stored program concept that almost all modern day computers use. Computer programming: Ada Lovelace Charles Babbage
[25] During her work with Babbage, Ada Lovelace became the designer of the first computer algorithm, which could compute Bernoulli numbers, [26] although this is arguable as Charles was the first to design the difference engine and consequently its corresponding difference based algorithms, making him the first computer algorithm designer.
Theory and Techniques for Design of Electronic Digital Computers (popularly called the "Moore School Lectures") was a course in the construction of electronic digital computers held between July 8, 1946 and August 30, 1946 at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering of the University of Pennsylvania, and was the first time any computer topics had ever been taught to an assemblage of people.
Note G, originally published in Sketch of The Analytical Engine Invented by Charles Babbage Note G [ a ] is a computer algorithm written by Ada Lovelace that was designed to calculate Bernoulli numbers using the hypothetical analytical engine .
