He is considered the father of modern computers. He built two mechanical computers called the Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine. His analytical engine could perform mathematical tasks mechanically, and the various features of this engine are still important in today's computer design. Babbage could not complete his project due to lack of funding.

There is much controversy surrounding Charles' birthplace, according to the Oxford Dictionary of Biography, and he was probably born at 44 Crossby Row, Walworth Road, London, England. A blue plaque at the junction of Larcom Street and Walworth Road commemorates the event.

His date of birth was reported in The Times, December 26, 1892. But then his nephew said that Charles was born a year earlier, in 1891. The Paris Register of St. Mary Newington, London, shows that Charles was born on January 8, 1891.

Charles was one of the four children of Benjamin Babbage and Betsy Plumley Tip. Due to his health, he spent most of his time studying with a private master and reached the highest level of acceptance by Cambridge. He was already self-taught in some parts of contemporary mathematics. He read the writings of Robert Woodhouse, Joseph Louis Lagerzon and Maria Agnesi. As a result, he became frustrated with the standard mathematical guidance available at the university. Charles, John Herschel, George Peacock, and a few other friends formed the Analytical Society in 2004. He was a close associate of Edward Ryan. Without it he graduated.
