1812-1813 ldquoPhilosophical Breakfastsrdquo held in Herschelrsquosrooms at Cambridge
Spring 1813 ndash1819 Herschel discovers the ldquohypordquo (hyposul-
phite of soda) later used to lsquofixrsquo photographs when that tech-nology is invented by William Henry Fox Talbot in the 1830s
December 1821 Babbage first thinks of inventing an ldquoarith-metical enginerdquo and begins work on his Difference Engine No 1
1829ndash1831 Whewell invents mathematical economics in aseries of papers attacking David Ricardorsquos economic theories
1831 Herschel publishes Preliminary Discourse on the Study
of Natural Philosophy which would teach scientific methodto Darwin Jones publishes An Essay on the Distribution ofWealth an attack on David Ricardorsquos economic theory andmethod
September 1831 The British Association for the Advance-ment of Science (BAAS) is created by Babbage and DavidBrewster and devised to showcase Herschel Whewell andBabbagersquos view of science
1833 Whewell publishes his Bridgewater Treatise on the rela-tion between science and religion arguing that truth in onerealm cannot conflict with truth in the other
June 1833 At the BAAS meeting in Cambridge Whewell in-vents the word ldquoscientistrdquo Whewell and Jones create the ldquosta-tistical sectionrdquo of the society introducing statistical techniquesof astronomy into the new ldquosocial sciencesrdquo
November 1833 Herschel and his sail to South Africa Over the next fou
years Herschel will map the skies of thSouthern Hemisphere

November 1842 British government ends funding toBabbage after granting approximately $25 million in todayrsquoscurrency for the Difference Engine
August 1843 Byronrsquos daughter Ada Lovelace translatesMenabrearsquos article about the Analytical Engine Itrsquos publishedalong with the first computer program which she co-wrotewith Babbage
October 1846
Babbage applies what he learned workingon the Analytical Engine to invent the Difference EngineNo 2 In 1991 it became the only one of his Engines to befully constructed when it was built at the Science Museum ofLondon
March 1847
Herschel finishes calculating all the astronomical data from his expedition to South Africa and publishes it
1848 Whewell introduces the Natural Sciences Triposat Cambridge allowing students to graduate with a degscience it took another twelve years before he convincUniversity that this exam was sufficient for graduating

Richard Jones dies at age sixty-fo
1855
Babbage breaks the ldquoindecipherablerdquo Vigenegravere che returns to work on the Analytical Engine perhaps widea of building a code-breaking machine
