Charles Babbage, was born in England on December 26, 1792. He attended Cambridge University. Later, in 1816, he became a fellow of the Royal Society. During his working career he was a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University. Babbage is known for his ideas about building an "analytical engine", the predecessor of the digital computer. He proposed operations research which involves the idea of using machines to perform routine mathematical operations and thus deleting drudgery and errors in human calculation. Although he never built his computer, his ideas influenced those who later carried out his ideas. Among Babbage's writings are Reflections on the Decline of Science in England written in 1831 and On the Economy of Machinery and Manufactures (1833). Babbage died on October 18, 1871.

Babbage, Charles Babbage, Charles (1792-1871), British mathematician and inventor, born in Teignmouth. He designed and built mechanical computing machines on principles that anticipated the modern electronic computer. In the 1820s Babbage began developing his Difference Engine, a mechanical device to perform simple mathematical calculations. In the 1830s Babbage began developing his Analytical Engine, which was designed to carry out more complicated calculations. Babbage's book Economy of Machines and Manufactures (1832) initiated the field of study known today as operational research. invented the analytical engine mentor to Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace invented the cowcatcher - the metal device in front of steam locomotives devised a method of analyzing complex systems which became the foundation of the field of operational research proved that the cost of analyzing and assigning a value for delivering mail according to distance was much more expensive than assigning a flat rate fee (should phone companies be listening? -aj)

Babbage, Charles (1791-1871) The British inventor known to some as the "Father of Computing" for his contributions to the basic design of the computer through his Analytical Engine. His previous computer, the Difference Engine, was a special purpose device intended for the production of mathematical tables. Babbage also invented the cowcatcher, the dynamometer, standard railroad gauge, uniform postal rates, occulting lights for lighthouses, Greenwich time signals, and the heliograph opthalmoscope. He also had an interest in ciphers and lock-picking. Started work on the Difference Engine through funding from the British Government. Published a table of logarithms from 1 to 108000. Appointed to the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics at Cambridge. Founded the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Published "Economy of Manufactures and Machinery".
