Charles Babbage (1791 - 1871) is generally called father of computers. There are several other people who came later who also share tiles like that, including Alan Turing, John Atanasoff, John von Neumann, Konrad Zuse.
John von Neumann invented the concept of a stored program. Prior to this invention, computers were strictly data-flow machines, and programming was effected by rewiring of the machine.

The father of congruence of triangles is Euclid, a renowned ancient Greek mathematician known as the "Father of Geometry." In his seminal work, "Elements," Euclid laid down the foundational principles of geometry, including the concept of congruence of triangles. He established the criteria for triangle congruence, such as the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) and Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) postulates, which are still fundamental in modern geometry. Euclid's contributions to the study of triangles and their congruence have had a lasting impact on mathematics and geometric reasoning.
