The notion of computing mathematical computations has existed long in the past, such as the great Great pantheons, the great Roman Colosseum, and the Great Pyramids of Gaza. All these great structures would have been impossible to build without mathematical computations. And as time has progressed, more and more devices and methods with specified mathematical functions came into existence such as: Napier's Rod which simplifies multiplication, a mechanical adding machine by Blaise Pascal, and a loom that could weave intricate patterns by Joseph-Marie Jacquard.
Eventually from 1900 to 1939, the development of mathematics had developed to an unprecedented level ever seen in history. This exponential rise and development of mathematics and computation provided the basis for a system that would deal with these things, that is computer science. This rise spawned many of the building blocks that is used in computer science today, such as: boolean logic by George Boole, binary computation by Gottfried Wilhem Leibniz, and one of the first attempts at mechanical computation by Charlse Babbage.
Needless to say. These were some of the foundation blocks built in mathematics and computation that spawned the logic and methodology that computer science is founded and centered upon.
