Charles Babbage's mechanical analytical engine had a processing unit called the mill, stored number programs, used punch cards for data input, and printed an output. Being mechanical rather than electrical, the analytical engine worked by a series of gears and levers. Charles Babbage started building his analytical engine in 1833 and continued to tinker on his machine until the day he died. According to public lecture given by Philip Machanick at the University of the Witwatersrand: "What made the analytical engine such a feat of engineering was that it was built before the discovery of electronics, and was entirely mechanical. Its memory consisted of gears, while the processing unit, or mill, consisted of cams, clutches, cranks and gears.

Charles Babbage Next Index Links Prev Charles Babbage Charles Babbage (1791-1871), often referred to as the "Father of Computing" for his contributions to the development of the computer, seemed to have a rather ordinary childhood. Nevertheless, he grew up to possess a keen intellect, with a mind interested in not only mathematics, but also philosophy, politics, and mechanics. While he is well known for ideas underlying the difference engine and the analytical engine, it is not so well known that he also was an inventor responsible for the cowcatcher, heliograph, standardized postal rates, Greenwich time signals, and the dyanometer. With respect to the field of philosophy and religion, Babbage found beauty in the orderliness to be found within man, nature, and inventions. He was especially fond of the idea of constructing tables containing standardized measurements for things such as the length a bovine breath, or the time it takes for a pig's heart to beat. Quantification, quantification, quantification. This led to him to investigate biblical miracles. In his book Passages from the Life of a Philospher he wrote that miracles are not "the breach of established laws, but... indicate the existence of far higher laws."

Charles Babbage Charles Babbage 1791-1871 Charles Babbage was born in 1791 in Teignmouth, Devonshire, UK as the son of a banker called Benjamin Babbage. Some people know him as the "Father of Computing" as a result of his contributions to the basic design of the computer. A major contribution was his Analytic Machine. Before he built this he produced the Difference Engine which operated on 6-digit numbers, and was designed to solve 2nd order difference equations. Difference engine built by Babbage in 1832 However, only a few people knew who he was when he died in 1871 in London. But nowadays every person studying the history of the computer knows many things about him such as punch cards, chains and subassemblies. Ultimately the logical structure of the modern computer come from him. Near the northern pole of the moon there is even a crater named after Charles Babbage. The analytical engine devised by Charles Babbage included 5 features crucial to future computers: an input device a storage facility to hold numbers for processing a processor or number calculator a control unit to direct tasks to be performed an output device Unfortunately this engine never worked, because the technology of manufacturing exact technical parts was not developed far enough. This inaccuracies kept the machine from working.

Charles Babbage (1791-1871) In the history of computers, Charles Babbage is often celebrated as the "first computer pioneer" and as a scientist and inventor who was 100 years ahead of his time. This reputation is primarily based on the invention of the Analytical Engine, a mechanical automatic calculating machine which featured an arithmetic and logic unit, memory, input/output, and sequential control by means of punched cards. Charles Babbage, the son of a banker born in 1791 in Walworth, England, studied mathematics at Cambridge University from 1810 to 1814. In 1816, he became a Fellow of the Royal Society of London, the most important scientific society in England. Following the death of his father, he was financially independent and exerted great influence on the evolution of science in England without ever holding an official post. He was not only an outstanding mathematician and inventor but also a reformer of science and society. Babbage's initial fame was due to the invention of the Difference Engine. His occupation with the preparation of mathematical tables - a time-consuming activity that was prone to error - gave him the idea in 1821 of doing this automatically with the aid of a machine which would total differences. Construction of the Difference Engine, which was to consist of 25,000 parts, developed into one of the first large-scale scientific projects, although it ultimately failed. In 1833, work on construction of the machine was discontinued after a dispute between Babbage and the engineer Joseph Clement. By then, more money had been spent on this project than would have been needed to build 20 steam locomotives. Finally, it was other inventors who built the first working difference engines, but they were all influenced by Babbage's ideas.

Charles Babbage was one such scientist. He was founder of both Royal Astronomical Society and the British Association's Statistical Society. His inventions ran the gamut from the heliograph opthalmoscope to the cowcatcher. He began working on the first computer, called an Analytical Engine, in 1834 using punch cards and ultimately designed the logical structure of the modern computer.

"Charles Babbage was a self taught mathematical genius whose invention of the automated calculator and designs for the first basic computer system have changed almost every aspect of the way we live and work today. Young and aspiring mathematicians and inventors everywhere should see him as an inspiration and we should remember and honour the birthplace in Walworth of this remarkable man who is known to many as the 'father of computers'." - Carol Vorderman, TV presenter and mathematical whizz. Will you vote for - Charles Babbage? Our lives might be very different today without Charles Babbage’s early calculating machines. Born in Walworth, he is regarded by many as “the father of computing”. His Difference Engine, invented in 1821, was the world’s first successful automatic calculator – and the design for his Analytical Engine (1856) is generally considered the foundation of today’s computers. Born in Crosby Row (now Larcom Street) in 1791, Babbage taught himself algebra at a young age and, upon entering Cambridge University at the age of 20, found himself a far better mathematician than his tutors. He co-founded the Analytical Society for reforming the mathematics of Newton then taught at the university – and was later to occupy the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics at Cambridge, a post previously held by Isaac Newton and now held by Prof. Stephen Hawking. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1816 and played a major part in setting up the Astronomical Society (later Royal Astronomical Society) in 1820. It was around this time that Babbage first became interested in calculating machines, which would be his consuming passion for the rest of his life.
