The county is named for James Babbage Wells Jr., a political boss in southern Texas.

In response to the claim in Whewell's treatise that " 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 ", Charles Babbage published what he called The Ninth Bridgewater Treatise, A Fragment.

The computing pioneer Charles Babbage then published his unofficial Ninth Bridgewater Treatise in 1837, putting forward a thesis that God had the omnipotence and foresight to create as a divine legislator, making laws ( or programs ) that then produced species at the appropriate times, rather than continually interfering with ad hoc miracles each time a new species was required.

The document was circulated, and Charles Babbage incorporated extracts in his ninth and unofficial Bridgewater Treatise, which postulated laws set up by a divine programmer.

Construction of this machine was never completed ; Babbage had conflicts with his chief engineer, Joseph Clement, and ultimately the British government withdrew its funding for the project.

Its first meeting was held at York in 1831 ; and Brewster, along with Babbage and Sir John F. W. Herschel, had the chief part in shaping its constitution.

Charles Babbage was known to have broken a variant of the cipher as early as 1854 ; however, he didn't publish his work.

Charles Babbage owned one of these portraits ; it inspired him in using perforated cards in his analytical engine.

The novel has attracted the attention of scholars, including Jay Clayton, who explores the book's attitude toward hacking, as well as its treatment of Babbage and Ada Lovelace ; Herbert Sussman, who demonstrates how the book rewrites Benjamin Disraeli's novel Sybil ; and Brian McHale, who relates it to the postmodern interest in finding a " new way of ' doing ' history in fiction.

Howard Aiken mentioned Babbage extensively when he convinced IBM to build the Harvard Mark I in 1937 ; when the machine was finished some hailed it as " Babbage's dream come true ".

There are two depots at Stevenage ; Babbage Road ( ex Sovereign ) and Norton Green Road.

In 1837, Babbage described his analytical engine.

To supervise his collections Darwin had to return to London, and on Lyell's advice he planned to arrive on Friday 3 March 1837, in time for one of Charles Babbage's Saturday parties, talking shops about the latest developments " brilliantly attended by fashionable ladies, as well as literary and scientific gents " and " a good mixture of pretty women ", bankers and politicians, where Babbage promoted such projects as his mechanical computer.

Trial model of a part of the Analytical Engine, built by Babbage, as displayed at the Science Museum ( London )

The Analytical Engine was a proposed mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English mathematician Charles Babbage.

* A similar setting is used by Sydney Padua in the webcomic The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage.

* Georgia on My Mind is a novelette by Charles Sheffield which involves two major themes: being widowed and the quest for a legendary Babbage computer.

Ada Lovelace reported in her notes on the Analytical Engine: " Mr. Babbage believes he can, by his engine, form the product of two numbers, each containing twenty figures, in three minutes ".

The encoding of data by discrete bits was used in the punched cards invented by Basile Bouchon and Jean-Baptiste Falcon ( 1732 ), developed by Joseph Marie Jacquard ( 1804 ), and later adopted by Semen Korsakov, Charles Babbage, Hermann Hollerith, and early computer manufacturers like IBM.

The world's first computer printer was a 19th century mechanically driven apparatus invented by Charles Babbage for his difference engine.

However, the possibility of actually constructing a conscious machine was probably first discussed by Ada Lovelace, in a set of notes written in 1842 about the Analytical Engine invented by Charles Babbage, a precursor ( never built ) to modern electronic computers.

* June 5 – Ada Lovelace is introduced to Charles Babbage by Mary Somerville.

Since 1824, Indian logic attracted the attention of many Western scholars, and has had an influence on important 19th-century logicians such as Charles Babbage, Augustus De Morgan, and particularly George Boole, as confirmed by his wife Mary Everest Boole who wrote in an " open letter to Dr Bose " titled " Indian Thought and Western Science in the Nineteenth Century " written in 1901 < ref >

Sabine's appointment was violently attacked by Charles Babbage, the father of the computer, ( largely on account of his associations with the Royal Society, whose scientific credentials Babbage did not recognise ) in a pamphlet entitled Reflections on the Decline of Science in England, and on Some of its Causes.

As chemistry journals emerged throughout the 1820s and 1830s, Charles Babbage developed his " difference engine ," the first step towards the modern computer, in 1822 and his " analytical engine ” by 1834.

The most iconic aspects of the show are the large computer screen, named " Mr Babbage " by original host Bob Monkhouse and the famous computerised " Eh-uh " sound used when wrong answers are given.

A time traveller on a reconnaissance mission from the distant future became stranded in England of the late 1800s, and his technology came into the hands of the Royal Society led by Baron Fortesque ( based upon Charles Babbage ), a grand inventor.

Of the first, a clergyman near Cambridge, Babbage said, " I fear I did not derive from it all the advantages that I might have done.

" The second was an Oxford tutor from whom Babbage learned enough of the Classics to be accepted to Cambridge.

Babbage arrived at Trinity College, Cambridge in October 1810.

In 1812 Babbage transferred to Peterhouse, Cambridge.
