Download or read book The Works of Charles Babbage 11 Volume Set written by Charles Babbage and published by New York University Press. This book was released on 1989-05 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Babbage is well described as the "pioneer of the computer", but he was far more than this: his mathematic, scientific, and engineering work is highly significant for its original approach to problem-solving while the economic, political, and theological writings show an incisive appreciation of contemporary debate, and justify the growing consensus which judges Babbage to be one of the most important and rigorous intellectual polymaths of his age. This edition contains his two major papers: Inessay on the calculus of functions, which established his reputation as a mathematician, and On the economy of machinery manufacturers, which was the first work of its kind to concentrate on the manufacturing industry-a turning point in economic writing. The New York University Press edition includes a comprehensive general introduction in Volume I. Textual notes by leading international experts in the field of Babbage scholarship, such as Professor I. Bernard Cohen, Emeritus Professor of the History of Science, University of Sydney; and Dr. J. A. M. Dubey, Dean of Engineering at the Polytechnic of the South bank, consider the world spectrum of the writings and put the works in context. All new texts are brought together by a comprehensive index providing easy reference to the complete works- a facility which will allow the integration of Babbage scholarship for the first time. In addition to the standard pagination, the original page numbers have been retained to allow access from contemporary sources. there is also a comprehensive bibliography if works cited in the text- an essential reference tool for any serious scholar. The Works are illustrated throughout with the original diagrams, graphs, and line drawings. Volume 3 also contains 15 plates from Babbage's Calculating Engines (1889).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Passages from the Life of a Philosopher' is a fascinating autobiography of Charles Babbage, an English polymath known for his groundbreaking work in mathematics, philosophy, engineering, and invention. Babbage is credited with originating the concept of a digital programmable computer and is considered by many to be the "father of the computer." This book provides a unique insight into Babbage's life, interests, and achievements, including his invention of the first mechanical computer, the Difference Engine, and his development of the Analytical Engine, which contained all the essential ideas of modern computers. Babbage's wide range of interests and contributions in other fields make him a prominent figure among the many polymaths of his time. Although he died before the completion of many of his designs, his legacy lives on in the field of computing, and his work continues to inspire generations of inventors and engineers.
