Answer:

Charles Babbage was an English mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer! Answer:

Charles Babbage was a mathematician by education, having attained a Master's degree in mathematics from Cambridge University in 1817. Scientists use math extensively in their work, but math and science are not synonymous.

As an inventor, Babbage functioned as a mechanical engineer, using his knowledge of math and physics to create early prototypical computers called the Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine.

You could call Babbage a scientist, but he was also a mathematician, inventor, author, and philosopher.
