How did we get mathematics onto computers/electronic devices?

Boolean algebra, logic circuits and transistors.

Same way you can get into Conway's game of life.

A better question would be:

"How did math become real?"

Read 'Code: The Hidden Language of Hardware and Software'. Literally goes from the beginning of binary systems, such as braille and telegraphs to Boolean algebra & logic gates, all the way up to modern computers. Easily the best non-textbook CS book I've read

I'm actually interested in how we went from physical computing, such as Charles Babbage's Difference Engine, to the pocket calculator.

Allow me to explain in a way you can understand.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I'm more curious how we got from electronic circuits designed to solve simple mathematical computations to exchanging pictures of cartoon frogs at the speed of light across the globe, but I can't be bothered to read enough books to understand all the layers of abstraction.

your spelling is very good, but I can tell you're not a native speaker because you're using the EEEEEEEEEE wrong.
in this situation it should just be EEEEE or even a pepe would suffice.
Just a little more practice and you're well on your way to speaking perfect *SCREEEEEEECH*

Read George Boole's Laws of Thought.

It's the same principle whether realizing a mechanism is analogous to arithmetic or whether its circuits like half-adders.
