who is called the father of computer science?

<<best answer>> :D\nCharles babbage is "Father of Computers" not computer science. \n\nComputer science was developed by several developers and not one.\n\nhere's a link that i found online\nhttp://www.cwru.edu/pubaff/univcomm/2003/4-03/minsky.htm\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing

Alan Curtis Kay is considered as the Father of Personal Computing.\n\nFor more info: http://www.sdsuniverse.info/story.asp?id=27397

He was the first to come up with a good system of classifying all life on earth. His system, with variations, is still in wide use today. \n\nVery Important Person to scientists!

Blaise Pascal (pronounced [blez pɑskɑl]), (June 19, 1623 – August 19, 1662) was a French mathematician, physicist, and religious philosopher. He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father. Pascal's earliest work was in the natural and applied sciences where he made important contributions to the construction of mechanical calculators, the study of fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalizing the work of Evangelista Torricelli. Pascal also wrote powerfully in defense of the scientific method.\n\nHe was a mathematician of the first order. Pascal helped create two major new areas of research. He wrote a significant treatise on the subject of projective geometry at the age of sixteen and corresponded with Pierre de Fermat from 1654 on probability theory, strongly influencing the development of modern economics and social science.\n\nFollowing a mystical experience in late 1654, he abandoned his scientific work and devoted himself to philosophy and theology. His two most famous works date from this period: the Lettres provinciales and the Pensées. However, he had suffered from ill-health throughout his life and his new interests were ended by his early death two months after his 39th birthday.

The father of algebra is Al Khwarizmi.\n \nHe wrote the first book on algebra. (The name "algebra" was first used by him.) Al Khwarizmi was born about 790 in Baghdad (now in Iraq) and died about 850.\n\nThe word for "Algebra" comes from the Arabic word for "al-jabr" which means "restoration of balance" in both sides of an equation.. Algebra was based on previous work from Greeks, Alexandrians in Egypt, and Hindus who had preserved the work from ancient Egyptians and Babylonians.\n\nIn the ninth century, al-Khwarizmi wrote one of the first Arabic algebras with both proofs and examples. Because of his work, he is called "the Father of Algebra." Al-Khwarizmi was a Persian born in the eighth century. He converted (changed) Babylonian and Hindu numerals into a workable system that almost anyone could use. He gave the name to his math as "al-jabr" which we know as "algebra".\n\nA Latin translation of al-Khwarizmi's book on algebra appeared in Europe in the 12th century. In the early 13th century the new algebra appeared in the writings of the famous Italian mathematician, Leonardo Fibonacci. So, algebra was brought into Europe from ancient Babylon, Egypt and India by the Arabs and then into Italy.

hello.obviously the answer from any keyboard would be albert einstein.we hav many instances to name as why he is prodigious in math and physical calclations...

tierrecarter, Bill Gates didn't invent the PC. IBM invented the PC, but got its OS from Microsoft (who didn't write it, they bought it from another firm, who didn't "invent" it either, as it was a clone of Digital Research's CP/M).\n\nSince Charles Babbage has already been mentioned, I'd like to drop a word in for Alan Turing, whose theroies are essential for modern computing, or Tommy Flowers, who used Turing's theories to produce Colossus, the first digital, programmable, electronic computer.

Unfortunately, I believe the answer goes to Bill Gates.  Not only is he super smart when it comes to computers, etc, he's also a savey business person.

Hello..Anyone from thr pals above are right about it. The PERSON WHO INVENTED COMPUTER FOR THE FIRST TIME . IT IS JOHN ATANASSOV. HE DIED ONLY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO IN USA AND I HAVE THE PLEASURE TO KNOW ONE OF HIS GRANDCHILDREN!!

Charles Babbage was the first to conceptualize and design a fully programmable computer as early as 1820, but due to a combination of the limits of the technology of the time, limited finance, and an inability to resist tinkering with his design, the device was never actually constructed in his lifetime. A number of technologies that would later prove useful in computing, such as the punch card and the vacuum tube had appeared by the end of the 19th century, and large-scale automated data processing using punch cards was performed by tabulating machines designed by Hermann Hollerith.

Still Bill Gates\nhttp://www.forbes.com/2004/02/25/bill04land.html\n\nAnd, no, he didn't invent the computer.

Blaise Pascal was a French mathematician, scientist, and theologian who lived between 1623-1662. In 1645, Pascal invented the first digital calculating machine, making him one of the founding fathers of microcomputer technology. In 1646, he invented the syringe and hydraulic press. \n\nIn 1648, Pascal proved that the level of mercury in a barometer is determined by a change in atmospheric pressure. This led to new insights in the studies of meteorology and fluid dynamics. It also led to Pascal's law, which states that fluids transmit pressure equally in all directions. \n\nThe International Standard (SI) unit for pressure was named after Pascal. Pascal is also honored in having one of the first computer programming languages named after him. \n\nPascal died at 39 years of age from stomach and brain cancer. One of his theological writings, Pensees (Thoughts) is still famous throughout the world.
