Charles Babbage          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       {Difference Engine} was a special purpose device intended for       the production of mathematical tables.          Babbage was born on December 26, 1791 in Teignmouth,       Devonshire UK.   He entered Trinity College, Cambridge in 1814       and graduated from Peterhouse.   In 1817 he received an MA from       Cambridge and in 1823 started work on the Difference Engine       through funding from the British Government.   In 1827 he       published a table of {logarithms} from 1 to 108000.   In 1828       he was appointed to the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics at       Cambridge (though he never presented a lecture).   In 1831 he       founded the British Association for the Advancement of Science       and in 1832 he published "Economy of Manufactures and       Machinery".   In 1833 he began work on the Analytical       Engine. In 1834 he founded the Statistical Society of London.       He died in 1871 in London.          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 cyphers       and lock-picking.          [Adapted from the text by J. A. N. Lee, Copyright September       1994].          Babbage, as (necessarily) the first person to work with       machines that can attack problems at arbitrary levels of       {abstraction}, fell into a trap familiar to {toolsmiths}       since, as described here by the English ethicist, Lord       Moulton:          "One of the sad memories of my life is a visit to the       celebrated mathematician and inventor, Mr Babbage.   He was far       advanced in age, but his mind was still as vigorous as ever.       He took me through his work-rooms.   In the first room I saw       parts of the original Calculating Machine, which had been       shown in an incomplete state many years before and had even       been put to some use.   I asked him about its present form.   'I       have not finished it because in working at it I came on the       idea of my {Analytical Machine}, which would do all that it       was capable of doing and much more.   Indeed, the idea was so       much simpler that it would have taken more work to complete       the Calculating Machine than to design and construct the other       in its entirety, so I turned my attention to the Analytical       Machine.'"          "After a few minutes' talk, we went into the next work-room,       where he showed and explained to me the working of the       elements of the Analytical Machine.   I asked if I could see       it.   'I have never completed it,' he said, 'because I hit upon       an idea of doing the same thing by a different and far more       effective method, and this rendered it useless to proceed on       the old lines.'   Then we went into the third room.   There lay       scattered bits of mechanism, but I saw no trace of any working       machine.   Very cautiously I approached the subject, and       received the dreaded answer, 'It is not constructed yet, but I       am working on it, and it will take less time to construct it       altogether than it would have token to complete the Analytical       Machine from the stage in which I left it.'   I took leave of       the old man with a heavy heart."          "When he died a few years later, not only had he constructed       no machine, but the verdict of a jury of kind and sympathetic       scientific men who were deputed to pronounce upon what he had       left behind him, either in papers or in mechanism, was that       everything was too incomplete of be capable of being put to       any useful purpose."          [Lord Moulton, "The invention of algorithms, its genesis, and       growth", in G. C. Knott, ed., "Napier tercentenary memorial       volume" (London, 1915), p.   1-24; quoted in Charles Babbage       "Passage from the Life of a Philosopher", Martin       Campbell-Kelly, ed. (Rutgers U. Press and IEEE Press, 1994),       p. 34].          Compare: {uninteresting}, {Ninety-Ninety Rule}.          (1996-02-22)
