Abstract
In 1837, the first computer program in history was sketched by the renowned
mathematician and inventor Charles Babbage. It was a program for the Analytical
Engine. The program consists of a sequence of arithmetical operations and the
necessary variable addresses (memory locations) of the arguments and the
result, displayed in tabular fashion, like a program trace. The program
computes the solutions for a system of two linear equations in two unknowns.
