Through the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI), INET provides support to students, young professionals, or others who embrace new and critical ways of thinking about the economy. YSI fosters conversation among those who wish to engage with new economic thinking and connects young scholars to the Institute’s vast network of economists. The concept of innovation is generally associated with the Austrian-American economist Joseph Aloïs Schumpeter. At the micro level, Schumpeter’s work shed a brighter light on the relationship between innovation and market structure. At the macro level, he clarified the relationship between technological change and business cycles. But Schumpeter was not the first to underscore the importance of innovation. About 100 years before him, the 19 th century English mechanical engineer Charles Babbage provided key insights that eventually helped shape Schumpeter’s way of thinking. An outstanding mathematician, the multifaceted Babbage also was an inventor. He is best known for his pioneering contributions to the conception of the computer. Babbage designed the very first models of mechanical computer along with card programming and memory storage. Babbage’s versatility extended to political economy. Babbage’s economic ideas are contained in the influential On the Economy of Machinery and Manufactures, which was first published in 1832, and was a byproduct of his visits to workshops and industrial facilities in England and in continental Europe. It is o...

The Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves. 1843 Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) was born Augusta Ada Byron, the only legitimate child of Annabella Milbanke and the poet Lord Byron. Her mother, Lady Byron, had mathematical training (Byron called her his 'Princess of Parallelograms') and insisted that Ada, who was tutored privately, study mathematics too - an unusual education for a woman. Ada met Babbage at a party in 1833 when she was seventeen and was entranced when Babbage demonstrated the small working section of the Engine to her. She intermitted her mathematical studies for marriage and motherhood but resumed when domestic duties allowed. In 1843 she published a translation from the French of an article on the Analytical Engine by an Italian engineer, Luigi Menabrea, to which Ada added extensive notes of her own. The Notes included the first published description of a stepwise sequence of operations for solving certain mathematical problems and Ada is often referred to as 'the first programmer'. The collaboration with Babbage was close and biographers debate the extent and originality of Ada's contribution. Perhaps more importantly, the article contained statements by Ada that from a modern perspective are visionary. She speculated that the Engine 'might act upon other things besides number... the Engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent'.

Charles Babbage was an English polymath, inventor, mechanical engineer, and philosopher who became popular due to his concept in creating a programmable computer. Before you know Charles Babbage inventions, you have to discover something about his early life first. He was born in 44 Crosby Row Walworth Road in London, England. This information came from the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography because in some researches, his birth place is unclear. His birth date was December 26, 1792. He was one of the siblings of Betsy Plumleigh Teape and Benjamin Babbage. John Graham-Cumming’s TedTalk About Babbage Inventing the Computer in 1830 His father was the banking partner of the founder of Praed’s and Co. who was William Praed. In 1808, Charles and his family moved to an old Rowdens house that is located in East Teignmouth. When he was 8n years old, he was brought by his family in the country school in the Alphington which is very near the Exeter in order to have a continuous recovery from a serious health issue. As the time passes by, he was able to recover in that health issue and he continued studying in Cambridge Trinity College. Charles gained lots of information that broaden his knowledge in mathematics, economics, and astrology. After he finished studying in college, he fell in love with Georgia Whitmore and they got married. When talking about Charles Babbage inventions, he actually made lots of inventions which make the life of the people light and easy. He was recog...

Follow If someone up and asked you “who invented the computer,” how would you respond? Bill Gates? Steve Jobs? Al Gore? Or say you’re more historically savvy, might you venture Alan Turing? Perhaps Konrad Zuse? Turing is the guy who, in the 1930s, laid the groundwork for computational science, while Zuse, around the same time, created something called the “Z1,” generally credited as “the first freely programmable computer.” And yet all of the above could prove wrong, depending on what a British research team and millions of dollars turn up over the next decade. ( PHOTOS: The team’s question, Times: “Did an eccentric mathematician named Charles Babbage conceive of the first programmable computer in the 1830s, a hundred years before the idea was put forth in its modern form by Alan Turing?” You know, Charles Babbage? Born in 1791, died in 1871? Who attempted to build something called a “Difference Engine” during the first half of the nineteenth-century, a kind of mechanical calculator designed to compute various sets of numbers? Some argue that he, not Turing or Zuse, is the true father of the modern computer. I worked for a company named after the guy back in 1994.

An Appeal to Steam London, Summer 1821. Charles Babbage (1791-1871), inventor and mathematician, is poring over a set of astronomical tables calculated by hand. Finding error after error he finally exclaims 'I wish to God these calculations had been executed by steam'. His appeal to machinery, in one of the most resonant utterances of the 19th century, was the start of a new era of automatic computation. The Tables 'Crisis' It was not only the grindingly tedious labor of verifying a sea of figures that exasperated Babbage, but their daunting unreliability. Engineering, astronomy, construction, finance, banking and insurance depended on printed tables for calculation. Ships navigating by the stars relied on printed tables to find their position at sea. The stakes were high. Capital and life were thought to be at risk. Infallible Machines Babbage embarked on an ambitious venture to design and build mechanical calculating engines to eliminate the risk of human error in the production of printed tables. The 'unerring certainty of machinery' would solve the problem of human fallibility. His work on the engines led him from mechanized arithmetic to the entirely new realm of automatic computation. Tabular errors provided a practical stimulus. But this was not his only motive. He also saw his engines as a new technology of mathematics. Final Vindication Babbage himself failed to build a complete calculating engine and his designs remained a historical curiosity for over 150 years....
