Description On the Analytical Society and its leaders--Charles Babbage, John Herschel, and George Peacock. “This essay is an appraisal of their activities within the mathematical/social/political/religious environment of Cambridge. The purpose is to reveal why the curriculum took the form it did, a form conducive to the education of a liberally educated élite and mathematical physicists, but not necessarily to the education of pure mathematicians.”
