 | Babbage's Calculating Engines
A Collection of Papers by Henry Prevost Babbage
Henry Babbage
These assembled papers discuss Babbage's Difference Engine, which he invented in 1821 to solve the practical problem of finding a means to reliably compute the many tables needed for navigation, and his Analytical Engine, which anticipated the logical conceptions of modern digital computers.
