THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Series Three: The Papers of Charles Babbage, 1791-1871 22 reels of 35mm silver-halide positive microfilm plus guide "The idea of a digital computer is an old one. ... Babbage had all the essential ideas....". Alan Turing Frankenstein was written - Babbage showed that a machine could be created which could replicate certain areas of human thought. Babbage designed first the Difference Engine (an automatic mechanical calculating machine) and then the Analytical Engine (a pioneer digital computer). His designs included a central processing unit ('the Mill'), memory ('the Store'), variables, operators and a printer to output conclusions. The design was one thing, actually constructing the machines with the available technology proved to be extremely difficult. Notwithstanding substantial grants from the Royal Society and the British Government Babbage failed to create either. That glory was left to the Swedish printer, Georg Scheutz, who won a gold medal at the Paris Exhibition for constructing the Difference Engine. A close friend and collaborator in much of his work was Augusta Ada Byron, later the Countess of Lovelace, who was the only child of Lord Byron. She was confident of the importance of the machine, stating that

Charles Babbage (1791-1871) Charles Babbage was a prominent British mathematician. At one point, he held the Chair at Cambridge once held by Isaac Newton (and now held by Stephen Hawking). Unfortunately, he feuded a great deal, and never made much progress in actually building the machines which he designed. This was a pity, because his ideas were more than a century ahead of his time. In 1833 he planned a 50-digit machine which would read and write punched cards, and would read its program from cards. Ada Byron, later Countess of Lovelace, actually wrote a program for the planned machine. (This is why the programming language Ada was named after her.)

Charles Babbage English Mathematician Mathematican and inventor, born in London. He studied at Cambridge, where he became professor of mathematics (1828-39), and spent most of his life attempting to build two calculating machines. His "difference engine" was intended for the calculation of tables of logarithms and similar functions by repeated addition performed by trains of gear wheels. An unfinished portion of the machine is now in the Science Museum, London. His "analytical engine" was designed to perform many different computations, using punched cards. The idea was too ambitious to be realized by the mechanical devices available at the time, but can now be seen to be the essential germ of the electronic computer of today, and Babbage is thus regarded as the pioneer of modern computers.

Today in Technology History (To receive "Today in Technology History" by e-mail, click here To read past issues click here June 14 We wrote about the UNIVAC computer on June 14 last year. This year, our subject is one of its ancestors. Charles Babbage (1791-1871) was a remarkable English mathematician and inventor. The most notable fact about him, certainly from our modern point of view, is that he spent decades of his life as well as nearly all of the fortune he inherited trying to build a mechanical calculating machine that can be considered, in several important ways, a forerunner of the modern computer. Babbage's masterpiece, the object of his greatest obsession, was sadly never completed. But before he began work on that large calculating machine, the "Analytical Engine," he had done considerable work on a smaller calculating machine, called the "Difference Engine." He first went public with that invention exactly 180 years ago, on June 14, 1822, in a note read to the Astronomical Society, an organization he had helped to found. Not only did he explain the basics of his idea, but he had even constructed a small working model. Put simply, Babbage's Difference Engine used gears and wheels to add numbers in a series. You wouldn't use Babbage's device to add two large numbers as you might use a modern hand-held calculator. Instead, you would use it to add numbers that you needed to list in a series; in other words, it was a time-saving device for people compiling tables. You would input the initial settings and crank out answers. So, for instance, if you wanted to compile a table for

Charles Babbage Since Charles Babbage's father was fairly wealthy, he could afford to have Babbage educated at private schools. He was sent to an academy at Forty Hill, Enfield, Middlesex where his education properly began. He began to show a passion for mathematics. On leaving the academy, he continued to study at home, having an Oxford tutor to bring him up to university level. Babbage entered Trinity College, Cambridge in 1810. He set up the Analytical Society in 1812, and its members were all Cambridge undergraduates. Nine mathematicians attended the first meeting. Babbage and Herschel produced the first of the publications of the Analytical Society in 1813. They published a remarkably deep history of the calculus for undergraduates. Two further publications of the Analytical Society were the joint work of Babbage, Herschel and Peacock. Babbage moved from Trinity College to Peterhouse and it was from that College that he graduated with a B.A. in 1814. Babbage married in 1814, then left Cambridge in 1815 to live in London. He wrote 2 major papers on functional equations in 1815 and 1816. Also in 1816, at the early age of 24, he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of London. He wrote papers on several different mathematical topics over the next few years but none are particularly important and some, such as his work on infinite series, are clearly incorrect. In 1820 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and in the same year he was a major influence in founding the Royal Astronomical Society. He served as secretary to the Royal Astronomical Society for the first 4 years of its existence and later he served as vice-president of the Society.

There was little evidence to prove which was right until Hyman (see [7]) in 1975 found that Babbage's birth had been registered in St Mary's Newington, London on 6 January 1792. Babbage's father was Benjamin Babbage, a banker, and his mother was Betsy Plumleigh Babbage.

Charles Babbage (1791 - 1871) Babbage was a sickly child and initially received only a basic education. As a child he made shoes for walking on water: book covers tied to his feet in such a way that they opened when he put his foot down. However, he was most taken with algebra. By the time he went to Cambridge University he had read most of the standard, and some non-standard, texts. Shortly after graduation he was hired by the Royal Institution to lecture on calculus. Within two years he had been elected a member of the Royal Society and, with his Cambridge friends, was instrumental in setting up the Astronomical Society in 1820, the first to challenge the dominion of the Royal Society. The 1820s saw Babbage work on his 'Difference Engine', a machine that could perform some mathematical calculations to twenty decimal places. A six-wheeled model was initially constructed and demonstrated to a number of audiences. By this time, however, he had plans to construct a bigger, better, machine (Difference Engine 2), as well as a different machine altogether: the Analytical Engine - a forerunner of the modern digital computer. It was intended to be able to perform any arithmetical calculation using punched cards that would deliver the instructions, as well as a memory unit to store numbers and many other fundamental components of today's computers. Government funding for the Difference Engine 2 was secured in 1823. Work began immediately and lasted for several years. When not engaged in its construction, Babbage worked on mathematical tables, calculated mortality tables for an insurance firm and wrote On the Economy of Machinery and Manufacture (1832). He became an expert on factories and the products they produced and his book was said to have influenced Karl Marx. As a radical reformist, he was heavily involved in the politics of the day and campaigned for reform in British science, publishing a savage attack on the Royal Society and its leadership in 1830.

Back to Communication Inventors Museum Lobby About Contact the Museum ... Search Charles Babbage believed in a definite order of the universe. He believed that once the world could be quantified then it could be predicted and controlled. (This was a fairly common philosophy of time with many scientists trying to discover the Natural Laws of the Universe in which God had written the ultimate plan.) In that pursuit he designed the analytical engine capable of performing any math problem. Even though he never completed his invention, it has earned him the title of the "Father of Computing." Charles was born in London in the middle of a great period of ferment and change. The city was moving forward towards industrialization at a breakneck pace. Expanded population and industry were highly valued. And he couldn't think of a better direction for the city to go. If he had been reading Charles Dickens, or hanging out with him, he might have seen a different side of industrialization. He might have seen the immense poverty that this had brought to the city. But as the son of a prominent banker this was not a concern for Charles. Math was always a love for Babbage. Early on he excelled at algebra and functions. In his twenties while working as a mathematician he started to think about calculating machinery. This became a passion that would consume him for the rest of his life. From 1828 to 1839 he was at Cambridge as the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics (a position that Sir Isaac Newton had held before him and Stephen Hawkings currently holds). While there he never presented a lecture. Instead he worked on his theory for a difference engine. This device, more limited than the analytical engine he would go on to invent, was designed to calculate and print mathematical tables.
