Woodhouse was one of Babbage's teachers at Cambridge yet he seems to have taken no part in the Society that Babbage was to set up to try to bring the modern continental mathematics to Cambridge.
Woodhouse ay isa sa Babbage ng mga guro at Cambridge pa siya tila sa may kinuha walang bahagi sa Kapisanan na Babbage ay upang i-set up upang subukan na magdala ng mga modernong kontinental matematika sa Cambridge.
