Who designed the analytical engine in 1833?
Charles Babbage. It was designed as a general purpose programmable computer, mostly to be used to compute tables for navigation and mathematics.
What is an analytical engine?
An analytical engine is a mechanical general-purpose computer which was designed and envisaged by Charles Babbage, but never built.
When was the computer first originated?
The history of computers back to the early 1880's. The ancient form of modern computer were the electronic calculating device. The first computer was developed by the International Business Machines ( I B M ). The computers owes its origin to Charls Babbage who is referred to as the father of computers.

Why did Charles Babbage create the computer was it on purpose or accident?
Completely on purpose, you don't design anything that complex by accident.He was tired of being a human computer and seeing all the errors human computers made in their calculations. Errors that in navigation tables for example could cause enormously expensive losses when ships went off course, hit rocks, and sank.
What is function of difference engine and analytical engine?
A machine first proposed by Charles Babbage in 1837 that is considered the concept for the first general mechanical computer. The Analytical Engine contained an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), basic flow control, and integrated memory and is the first general-purpose computer concept. Unfortunately because of funding issues this computer was also never built while Charles Babbage's was alive. However, in 1910 Henry Babbage, Charles Babbage's youngest son was able to complete a portion of this machine and was able to perform basic calculations. In the picture to the right, is a public domain picture of the Analytical Engine.
