Charles Babbage is well known as the frustrated father of the automatic calculating machine. Probably few are even aware, however, that he was a scientist who dabbled in a multitude of problems, that the only major undertaking he actually completed was in the field of what we now call operational research, and that he numbered among his friends and enemies such famous scientists and engineers of the 19th century as Laplace, Sir Humphry Davy, Biot and Brunei.
