Introduction Historical Documents "Sketch of the Analytical Engine" by L. F. Menabrea, translated and with extensive commentary by Ada Augusta, Countess of Lovelace. This 1842 document is the definitive exposition of the Analytical Engine, which described many aspects of computer architecture and programming more than a hundred years before they were "discovered" in the twentieth century. If you have ever doubted, even for a nanosecond, that Lady Ada was, indeed, the First Hacker, perusal of this document will demonstrate her primacy beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Extractions: The First Computer Seldom, if ever, in the history of technology has so long an interval separated the invention of a device and its realisation in hardware as that which elapsed between Charles Babbage's description, in 1837, of the Analytical Engine , a mechanical digital computer which, viewed with the benefit of a century and a half's hindsight, anticipated virtually every aspect of present-day computers. Charles Babbage (1792-1871) was an eminent figure in his day, elected Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge in 1828 (the same Chair held by Newton and, in our days, Stephen Hawking); he resigned this professorship in 1839 to devote his full attention to the Analytical Engine. Babbage was a Fellow of the Royal Society and co-founder of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, the Royal Astronomical Society, and the Statistical Society of London. He was a close acquaintance of Charles Darwin, Sir John Herschel, Laplace, and Alexander Humboldt, and was author of more than eighty papers and books on a broad variety of topics. His vision of a massive brass, steam-powered, general-purpose, mechanical computer inspired some of the great minds of the nineteenth century but failed to persuade any backer to provide the funds to actually construct it. It was only after the first electromechanical and later, electronic computers had been built in the twentieth century, that designers of those machines discovered the extent to which Babbage had anticipated almost every aspect of their work.

It evaluates polynomials up to the seventh power, with 30-figure accuracy. Babbage was born in Totnes, Devon.

This device was never built, but it embodied many of the principles on which digital computers are based. As a student at Cambridge, Babbage assisted John Herschel with his astronomical calculations and thought they could be better done by machines. His mechanical calulator, or difference engine, of 1822, which could compute squares to six places of decimals, got him a commission from the British Admiralty for an expanded version. But this project was abandoned in favour of the analytical engine, which he worked on for the rest of his life. The difference engine could perform only one function, once it was set up.

"We may thus, with the greatest propriety, deny to the mechanical philosophers and mathematicians of recent times any authority with regard to their views of the administration of the universe ; we have no reason whatever to expect from their speculations any help, when we ascend to the first cause and supreme ruler of the universe. But we might perhaps go farther, and assert that they.are in some respects less likely than men employed in other pursuits, to make any clear advance towards such a subject of speculation."—Bridgewater Treatise, by the REV. WM. WHEWELL, p. 334.

http://www.maxmon.com/1830ad.htm

Extractions: Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine As was previously noted, the first device that might be considered to be a computer in the modern sense of the word was conceived by the eccentric British mathematician and inventor Charles Babbage. a In 1822, Babbage proposed building a machine called the Difference Engine to automatically calculate mathematical tables. The Difference Engine was only partially completed when Babbage conceived the idea of another, more sophisticated machine called an Analytical Engine. (Some texts refer to this machine as an " Analytical Steam Engine ," because Babbage intended that it would be powered by steam). a The Analytical Engine was intended to use loops of Jacquard's punched cards to control an automatic calculator, which could make decisions based on the results of previous computations. This machine was also intended to employ several features subsequently used in modern computers, including sequential control, branching, and looping. a

The mechanical problems encountered in his own workshop during the government-financed work on his `difference engine' led him to a general interest in manufacturing problems. Economy of machinery... was the result of an investigative tour of British and European factories. It is his interest in the use of accurate mathematical and statistical work in various fields, including economics, which justifies his reputation as a forerunner of operations reserch.

http://domino.idg.se/cs/sprak.nsf/Alla/Babbage, Charles

Extractions: engelsk matematiker och uppfinnare (1791-1871), professor i matematik i Cambridge. Han tänkte ut den första datorn, den helt mekaniska så kallade analysmaskinen , men lyckades aldrig bygga den. Tillsammans med Ada Lovelace skrev Babbage de första dataprogrammen. Innan han tänkte ut den analysmaskinen konstruerade han den så kallade differensmaskinen , som var en avancerad räknemaskin men ingen dator. Den blev heller aldrig färdigbyggd, trots att brittiska regeringen satsade stora pengar på projektet. Att maskinerna aldrig blev byggda berodde på en kombination av omständigheter, bland annat att Babbage inte var ingenjör och inte behärskade det praktiska konstruktionsarbetet. Men eftersom han tänkte rätt räknas han som den förste datorkonstruktören.
