What nineteenth century French mathematician worked with quadratic formulas?
Evariste Galois worked on quadratics when he was a teenager. He was able to establish the means to solve quadratics using radicals and laid the ground work for what became Galois theory. Unfortunately, he died when he was only 20 years old during a duel.
Maria Agnesi died in January 9.1799 by a heart attack at a zoo

Some more are
Euclid, Fermat, Leibniz, the Bernoulli family, Euler, Laplace, Lagrange, Weierstrass, Hilbert, Noether, von Neumann.
A very extensive website is http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/ - look at the Biographies Index. There is an overwhelming amount of information here.
A book on the history of mathematics will give an overview.
Difference between Leonardo Number and Fibonacci number?
Fibonacci numbers start at 1 and 1, and each proceeding element is the sum of the two preceding elements. Ex: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,...
Leonardo numbers are named after Leonardo Fibonacci, the same as above, and they also start at 1 and 1, but each proceeding term is the sum of the two preceding terms AND 1. Ex: 1,1,3,5,9,15,25,...

How did Charles Babbage's Difference engine work?
I have never seen a good diagram, but the device was mechanical, not electrical and would probably resemble an early code machine ( used to make and decode ciphers) or possibly a mechanical (these antedated the juice variety) digital clock the possibility exists it may have used a clockwork, wind up motor, also. read out would be digital as explained, like a mechanical adding machine or the now-rare mechanical digital clocks, which were invented in Germany. I have no further information on the Babbage device, which never was, well a household appliance.
