Driven by their desire to modernize the teaching<br />

<strong>of</strong> mathematics at Cambridge when they were<br />

undergraduates there, <strong>Babbage</strong>, Herschel and Peacock<br />

founded the Analytical Society in 1813. The contents<br />

were <strong>of</strong> surprisingly high quality (<strong>of</strong>ten written by the<br />

founders and their friends). This volume contains a<br />

preface and three articles. <strong>Babbage</strong> was certainly the<br />

author <strong>of</strong> the preface and the first article, and he might<br />

well have written the second.<br />
