The mathematician and engineer Charles Babbage (1791–1871) is best remembered for his automatic 'calculating machines', the forerunner of modern computers. Babbage looks back on his life and distinguished career in this book, published in 1864, using many colourful anecdotes to recall his childhood, education and scientific work.
