-Born in London ("CBI") -Taught himself Algebra ("CBI") -Went to Cambridge in 1811 ("CBI") -Co-founded Analytical Society ("CBI") -Taught at Cambridge ("CBI") -Married Georgia Whitmore in 1814 ("CBI") -Had Eight Children ("CBI") -A son, his wife, and his father all died in 1827 (Lee) -"Elected Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge in 1828" (Walker) -Invented the Difference Engine ("CBI") -Designed a an Analytical Engine ("CBI") Personal Life ("Cambridge")

-Frequented Theaters (Lee) -Had a high appreciation for beauty (Lee) -Wanted to make a ballet that would use colored lights: “Alethes and Iris” (Lee) "Alethes and Iris" ("Ballet")

-Investigated biblical miracles: 10^12 (Lee) -Hated street performers: 25% (Lee) -Attempted to predict horse races (Lee) -Quantify everything: “Table of Constants of Nature and Art” (Lee) Assorted Oddities ("Resurection") ("Love's Ritornella-Street Performer") ("Horse Race")

-Could compute math tables ("Idea Finder") -Did not have memory ("Idea Finder") -Extremely precise engineering for it’s time ("Idea Finder") -The difference engines were never finished ("Idea Finder") -Difference Engine No. 1: First successful automatic calculator ("Idea Finder") If completed: 15 tons, 25,000 parts, 8 ft. tall (Luscombe) -Difference Engine No. 2: Completed after Babbage’s death ("News") 5 tons, 11 ft. tall, 7 ft. long ("News") Difference Engine ("Difference Engine")

-If completed: would have been the first programmable computer ("News") would have been the first Turing-Complete machine ("News") -Small parts were complete one of which was programmable via punch cards ("News") Ada Lovelace made a program for one of the “analytical engine” machines, which found Bernoulli numbers ("News") -The punch cards were based off of Jacquard loom (Walker) Analytical Engine ("The Analytical Engine")

-When designing the Analytical Engine, Charles Babbage came up with many of the basic concepts used on modern computers. He made the first programmable machine (Walker) He made the first machine that has memory (Walker) Implications on Modern Society
