Babbage, Charles MATHEMATICIAN (ENGLAND) BORN 26 Dec 1791, Teignmouth, Devonshire - DIED 18 Oct 1871, London GRAVE LOCATION London: Kensal Green Cemetery , Harrow Road, Kensal Green (084 PS (23003)) Born in Devonshire as the son of the banker Benjamin Babbage. As a child he suffered ill health. The young Babbage clearly had a passion for mathematics and a disdlike for the classics. He was educated by private tutors and then at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he received his M.A. in 1817. In 1830 he designed an analytical engine (on paper), which operated in a way similar to computers. Another of his designs was a difference engine, meant to produce tables. In 1827 he produced a table of logarithms from 1 to 108000; Babbage wanted to quantify everything. 1827 had been a year full of disaster. His father, his wife and two of his children died and he went abroad for his own health. Back in England he obtained the Lucasian Chair at Cambridge in 1828, but he never presented a single lecture. Babbage was one of the founders of the Astronomical Society (1820) as well as the Statistical Society (1834). In 1834 work on the Difference Engine came to an end. The government granted no more money and Babbage had already invested a huge sum of his own.

Charles Babbage (Dec. 1791 – Oct. 1871) Mathematician, philosopher and (proto-) computer scientist who originated the idea of a programmable computer. Bioraphy and Education Charles Babbage was born in London Dec. 26, 1791, St. Stephan day, in London. He was son of Benjamin Babbage, a banking partner of the Praeds who owned the Bitton Estate in Teignmouth and Betsy Plumleigh Babbage. It was about 1808 when the Babbage family decided to move into the old Rowdens house, located in East Teignmouth, and Benjamin Babbage became a warden of the nearby church of St. Michael. The father of Charles was a rich man, so it was possible for Charles to receive instruction from several elite schools and teachers during the course of his elementary education. He was about eight when he had to move to a country school to recover from a dangerous fever. His parents sentenced that his "brain was not to be taxed too much"; Babbage wrote: "this great idleness may have led to some of my childish reasonings." Then, he joined King Edward VI Grammar School in Totnes, South Devon, a thriving comprehensive school that's still operative today, but his fragile health status forced him back to private teaching for a period. Then, he finally joined a 30-student closed number academy managed by Reverend Stephen Freeman. The academy had a big library, where Babbage used to study mathematics by himself, and learned to love it. He had two more personal tutors after leaving the academy. One was a clergyman of Cambridge, and about him Babbage said: "I fear I did not derive from it all the advantages that I might have done.". The other one was an Oxford tutor who teached Babbage the Classics, so that he could be accepted to Cambridge.

Charles Babbage - [Babbage] Analytical engine - The analytical engine, an important step in the history of computers, is the design of a mechanical modern general-purpose computer by the British professor of mathematics Charles Babbage. It was first described in 1837, but Babbage continued to work on the design until his death in 1871. Reverse Polish notation - Reverse Polish notation (RPN), also known as postfix notation , was invented by Australian philosopher and computer scientist Charles Hamblin in the mid-1950s, to enable zero-address memory stores. It is derived from the Polish notation, which was introduced in 1920 by the Polish mathematician Jan Ɓukasiewicz. babbagecharlesmechanicalnotation

Branch of Science Engineers Branch of Science Mathematicians ... Barile Babbage, Charles (1791-1871) This entry contributed by Margherita Barile English mathematician and inventor. Babbage was obsessed from his boyhood with the idea of an universal language, and he conceived his first mechanical calculator around 1812 while he was a student at the Trinity College in Cambridge, England. At that time, he was involved in research on differential and integral calculus as a co-founder of the new Analytical Society. Later, he would become Lucasian professor (1828) and contribute to establishing the Royal Astronomical Society (1820) and the London Statistical Society (1834). The project of Babbage's Difference Engine No. 1 was completed in 1822. Two improved versions followed in the next years, but were never realized. These devices, based on a system of toothed gears, could automatically compute arithmetical sequences of high order involving numbers having up to 5 digits. Babbage's (unachieved) masterpiece was the Analytical Engine, a much more sophisticated invention, which worked using punched cards, could perform any arithmetical operation, and was even able to print out the results. One of the main outcomes of Babbage's research was the conclusion that every game of skill could be played by a properly instructed automaton.
