Charles Babbage
The difference engine and the analytical engine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_babbage
He designed the Analytical Engine in the 1830s, but never built it.
features of analytical engine
Nobody, because neither his Difference Engine #1 design nor Analytical Engine design nor improved Difference Engine #2 design were ever built in his lifetime.Two copies of his Difference Engine #2 design were built by the London Science Museum in 2002, 153 years after it was designed. They were used only as museum exhibits.
Charles Babbage. there are other questions on this English mathematician and computer inventor. it was called an analytical engine, not how you spelled it
Charles Babbage was the first to design a fully programmable mechanical computer in 1837, called his analytical engine.
The Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine were invented by Charles Babbage, an English mathematician and inventor. The Difference Engine, designed in the early 1820s, aimed to automate the calculation of polynomial functions, while the Analytical Engine, proposed in the 1830s, was a more advanced design capable of performing any calculation and is considered a precursor to modern computers. Babbage's work laid the foundation for computing, although neither engine was completed during his lifetime.
The Difference Engine, designed by Charles Babbage in the 1820s, was a mechanical calculator intended for producing mathematical tables through finite differences. In contrast, the Analytical Engine, conceived later in the 1830s, was a more advanced design that featured a general-purpose computing architecture, including an arithmetic logic unit, control flow through conditional branching, and memory. While the Difference Engine was specific to a single task, the Analytical Engine was envisioned as a programmable machine capable of performing any calculation. This distinction marks the Analytical Engine as a precursor to modern computers.
The Analytical Engine was a proposed mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English mathematician and computer pioneer Charles Babbage. It was first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage's difference engine, a design for a mechanical computer. The Analytical Engine incorporated an arithmetic logic unit, control flow in the form of conditional branching and loops, and integrated memory, making it the first design for a general-purpose computer that could be described in modern terms as Turing-complete. In other words, the logical structure of the Analytical Engine was essentially the same as that which has dominated computer design in the electronic era.Babbage was never able to complete construction of any of his machines due to conflicts with his chief engineer and inadequate funding.It was not until the 1940s that the first general-purpose computers were actually built, more than a century after Babbage had proposed the pioneering Analytical Engine in 1837.
An analytical engine is a mechanical general-purpose computer which was designed and envisaged by Charles Babbage, but never built.
