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 />
