Charles Babbage was a British mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer who is widely credited as the father of the computer. He was a professor of mathematics at the University of Cambridge from 1828 until his death in 1871. He worked on several projects related to mathematics and computing during his time at the university, including the Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine, both of which are considered to be early precursors to the modern computer. Babbage also worked closely with the university's Lucasian Chair of Mathematics, the then-current holder of which was the famous physicist and mathematician, Isaac newton.
In 1839, Babbage was appointed as the first Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge. This position allowed him to pursue his interest in mathematics and computing, and he quickly became an influential figure in the field. He was also an active member of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, publishing several papers on mathematics, computing and other topics.
Babbage's work at the University of Cambridge was highly acclaimed, and he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1816. He was also a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and a member of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. His work was instrumental in developing the foundations for computer science, and he is considered to be one of the most influential figures in the history of computing.

Charles Babbage's most famous assistant was Ada Lovelace.
Lady Ada Lovelace collaborated with Charles Babbage on the Analytical Engine. Her notes on this engine include what is recognized as the first algorithm for a machine.
