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.

During this project he realized that a much more general design, the Analytical Engine, was possible.

Henry Babbage's Analytical Engine Mill, built in 1910, in the Science Museum ( London )

In 1878, a committee of the British Association for the Advancement of Science recommended against constructing the Analytical Engine.

) Henry Babbage's " Analytical Engine Mill " is on display at the Science Museum in London.

" It is only a question of cards and time ", wrote Henry Babbage in 1888, "... and there is no reason why ( twenty thousand ) cards should not be used if necessary, in an Analytical Engine for the purposes of the mathematician ".

In 1991, the London Science Museum built a complete and working specimen of Babbage's Difference Engine No. 2, a design that incorporated refinements Babbage discovered during the development of the Analytical Engine.

In October 2010, John Graham-Cumming started a campaign to raise funds by " public subscription " to enable serious historical and academic study of Babbage's plans, with a view to then build and test a fully working virtual design which will then in turn enable construction of the physical Analytical Engine.

Babbage understood that the existence of an automatic computer would kindle interest in the field now known as algorithmic efficiency, writing in his Passages from the Life of a Philosopher, " As soon as an Analytical Engine exists, it will necessarily guide the future course of the science.

Percy Ludgate wrote about the engine in 1915 and even designed his own Analytical Engine ( it was drawn up in detail but never built ).

Despite this, Babbage's work fell into historical obscurity and the Analytical Engine was unknown to builders of electro-mechanical and electronic computing machines in the 1930s and 1940s when they began their work, resulting in the need to re-invent many of the architectural innovations Babbage had proposed.

Howard Aiken, who built the quickly-obsoleted electromechanical calculator, the Harvard Mark I, between 1937 and 1945, praised Babbage's work likely as a way of enhancing his own stature, but knew nothing of the Analytical Engine's architecture during the construction of the Mark I, and considered his visit to the constructed portion of the Analytical Engine " the greatest disappointment of my life ".

The Mark I showed no influence from the Analytical Engine and lacked the Analytical Engine's most prescient architectural feature, conditional branching.

J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly similarly were not aware of the details of Babbage's Analytical Engine work prior to the completion of their design for the first electronic general-purpose computer, the ENIAC.

* The cyberpunk novelists William Gibson and Bruce Sterling co-authored a steampunk novel of alternative history titled The Difference Engine in which Babbage's Difference and Analytical Engines became available to Victorian society.

* There is also mention of the Analytical Engine ( or the Clockwork Ouroboros as it is also known there ) in The Book of the War, a Faction Paradox anthology edited by Lawrence Miles.

* In the Neal Stephenson novel The Diamond Age, ubiquitous molecular nanotechology is described to make use of " rod logic " similar to that imagined by Babbage's design for the Analytical Engine.

* Moriarty by Modem, a short story by Jack Nimersheim, describes an alternate history where Babbage's Analytical Engine was indeed completed and had been deemed highly classified by the British government.

The characters of Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty had in reality been a set of prototype programs written for the Analytical Engine.

This short story follows Holmes as his program is rebooted on modern computers and he is forced to compete against his nemesis yet again in the modern counterparts of Babbage's Analytical Engine.

Leonardo Torres y Quevedo in 1914 designed an electro-mechanical version of the Analytical Engine of Charles Babbage which included floating-point arithmetic.

Its design was influenced by Babbage's Analytical Engine, using decimal arithmetic and storage wheels and rotary switches in addition to electromagnetic relays.

In 2009 Danaher purchased the Analytical Technologies business unit of Canadian Life Sciences company MDS, Inc. for $ 650 million USD.

Analytical chemistry has played critical roles in the understanding of basic science to a variety of practical applications, such as biomedical applications, environmental monitoring, quality control of industrial manufacturing, forensic science and so on.

* Analytical quality control

Organizations or laboratories that perform Assays for professional purposes e. g. medical diagnosis and prognostics, environmental analysis, forensic proceeding, pharmaceutical research and development must undergo well regulated quality assurance procedures including method validation, regular callibration, Analytical quality control, Proficiency testing, test accreditation, test licensing and must document appropriate certifications from the relevant regulating bodies in order to establish the reliability of their assays, especially to remain legally acceptable and accountable for the quality of the assay results and also to convince customers to use their assay commercially / professionally.

# Analytical methodologies need to be further developed to allow for real-time, in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of hazardous substances.

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 ".

Phobos soil sampling and downloading were developed by the GEOHI RAN Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences ( Vernadski Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical chemistry ) and the integrated scientific studies of Phobos and Mars by remote and contact methods were the responsibility of the Russian Space Research Institute, where Alexander Zakharov served as lead scientist of the mission

It is true that his first collage looks more Analytical than Braque's, which would confirm the date he assigns it.

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.

He brought out, in the Annals of Oriental Literature ( London, 1820 ), an essay entitled, " Analytical Comparison of the Sanskrit, Greek, Latin and Teutonic Languages ", in which he extended to all parts of the grammar what he had done in his first book for the verb alone.

In 1841, Eugène-Melchior Péligot, Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers ( Central School of Arts and Manufactures ) in Paris, isolated the first sample of uranium metal by heating uranium tetrachloride with potassium.

The statement that ƒ can be reconstructed from ƒ ̂ is known as the Fourier integral theorem, and was first introduced in Fourier's Analytical Theory of Heat,, although what would be considered a proof by modern standards was not given until much later.

Heyrovský started his university career as assistant to Professor B. Brauner in the Institute of Analytical Chemistry of the Charles University, Prague ; he was promoted to Associate Professor in 1922 and in 1926 he became the University's first Professor of Physical Chemistry.

The first movement on the part of the Analytical Society was to translate from the French the smaller work of Lacroix on the differential and integral calculus ; it was published in 1816.

The first was a two volume work that appeared in 1804 entitled A Practical Essay on the Analysis of Minerals, which was reissued in 1808 as A Manual of Analytical Mineralogy.

The first design for a program-controlled computer was Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine in the 1830s.

Analytical problems, such as the isolation of certain organic radicals, attracted his attention at first, but he soon turned to chemical syntheses, and he was only about twenty-five years of age when an investigation, doubtless suggested by the work of his master, Robert Bunsen and Hermann Kolbe, on cacodyl, yielded the interesting discovery of organometallic compounds.
