Introduction. The calculating engines of English mathematician Charles Babbage (1791-1871) are among the most celebrated icons in the prehistory of computing. Babbageâs Difference Engine No.1 was the first successful automatic calculator and remains one of the finest examples of precision engineering of the time.ublications about Charles Babbage: 1  Charles Babbage. 2  Passages from the Life of a Philosopher.

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).n 1817 he received an MA from Cambridge and in 1823 started work on the Difference Engine through funding from the British Government.
