Extractions: Excerpt from from Math Odyssey 2000 Ada Byron, the only legitimate child of Lord Byron, was born in December of 1815, and one month later her mother in a bitter and celebrated separation, left the "mad and bad" Byron and took Ada with her. Ada was educated at home by governesses and tutors hired by her mother. The Lady Byron strongly believed in mathematics as a discipline of the mind and saw to it that Ada was well grounded in this subject. She felt that it would be a way to provide a stable mental state and a good antidote to the "heedlessness, imprudence, vanity, prevarication and conceit" that Ada was bound to have inherited from her immoral father. One of her tutors was William Frend, a mathematician who didn't believe in negative numbers; another was Augustus DeMorgan, the great English logician. In 1830, when she was 15, Ada met Mary Fairfax Somerville, a well known female mathematician from Scotland. Mary had two daughters the same age as Ada, and the four women, Ada, Mary and her daughters, attended geography lectures at the University of London. (It seems that the mathematician, Charles Babbage, had persuaded the university to allow women to attend lectures in 1830, a privilege which was rescinded within a year). Ada corresponded with Mary Somerville on mathematical topics for the next twenty years, until Ada's death. During her teenage years, Ada was a member of the bluestockings, a group of ladies that visited together, holding conversations, and literary discussions. They often invited learned men to their gatherings, which were meant to replace frivolous social evenings with something more intellectual. They would sometimes visit museums or residences of well known scientists, and it was during one of these visits that Ada actually got to meet Charles Babbage.

She owes much of her fame to her friendship with Charles Babbage, the computer pioneer. She translated and annotated an article on his Analytical Engine written by an Italian mathematican, L F Menabrea, adding many explanatory notes of her own. The high-level universal computer programming language, ADA, was named in her honor.

http://www.well.com/user/adatoole/bio.htm

Extractions: Ada Byron, Lady Lovelace, was one of the most picturesque characters in computer history. August Ada Byron was born December 10, 1815 the daughter of the illustrious poet, Lord Byron. Five weeks after Ada was born Lady Byron asked for a separation from Lord Byron, and was awarded sole custody of Ada who she brought up to be a mathematician and scientist. Lady Byron was terrified that Ada might end up being a poet like her father. Despite Lady Byron's programming Ada did not sublimate her poetical inclinations. She hoped to be "an analyst and a metaphysician". In her 30's she wrote her mother, if you can't give me poetry, can't you give me "poetical science?" Her understanding of mathematics was laced with imagination, and described in metaphors. At the age of 17 Ada was introduced to Mary Somerville, a remarkable woman who translated LaPlace's works into English, and whose texts were used at Cambridge. Though Mrs. Somerville encouraged Ada in her mathematical studies, she also attempted to put mathematics and technology into an appropriate human context. It was at a dinner party at Mrs. Somerville's that Ada heard in November, 1834, Babbage's ideas for a new calculating engine, the Analytical Engine. He conjectured: what if a calculating engine could not only foresee but could act on that foresight. Ada was touched by the "universality of his ideas". Hardly anyone else was.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/lovelace_countess_of.shtml

Extractions: Send it to a friend! Augusta Ada Byron was the only child of the poet, Lord Byron. His marriage to Annabella was stormy and short; they separated in February 1816 when Ada was only an infant, and he never saw her again. She was raised by her mother, who was an impressive mathematician and ensured that she was rigorously tutored. She was also shown around factories, was demonstrated the machines of the industrial revolution, and was encouraged to meet with famous scientists. In 1833 she met Babbage, who had already made his Difference Engine, and in 1839 she asked him to tutor her. The following year she resumed her studies of mathematics by correspondence. When, in 1842, the Italian mathematician Luigi Menabrea published an article about Babbage's Analytical Engine, she read and translated it, adding her own notes. These notes were labelled A to G, and were three times the length of the translation. Note A highlighted the differences between the Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine. She said the analytical engine 'weaves algebraic patterns just as the Jaquard loom weaves flowers and leaves', going on to predict computer generated music. Note B detailed the operation of the store and mill, using cards. Note C discussed feeding the cards through backwards and then forwards repeatedly in order to perform iterations, and Note D was a technical discussion of notation used for describing the operation of the machine. Note F was about trigonometric functions and gave illustrations of some of the basic tasks the Analytical Engine might be expected to complete. Note G was the one held up as an example of programming, as it devised a method for computing Bernoulli numbers.

Extractions: Quelle: The Ada Picture Gallery Differenz- Maschine . Dabei handelte es sich um eine Maschine, die mittels des sog. "Differenz- Verfahrens" automatisch mathematische und astronomische Tabellen berechnen sollte. (Sie wurde jedoch nie vollständig realisiert, da die Kosten zu hoch gewesen wären. Nur ein Teil der "Difference Engine No. 1" wurde 1831 zusammengebaut, und ist bis heute erhalten und voll funktionsfähig.) Zu dieser Zeit begann Lovelace sich mit der ebenfalls von Babbage konzipierten Analytischen Maschine zu beschäftigen. Dabei handelte es sich um eine Weiterentwicklung der Differenz-Maschine: War diese nur fähig, eine festgelegte Aufgabe auszuführen, so verfügte die "Analytical Engine" im Gegensatz dazu über die Möglichkeit der Programmierung. (Die Maschine war aufgeteilt in Speicher und Rechenwerk, enthielt einen Satz an Grundoperationen, und konnte mit Lochkarten programmiert werden. Damit stellte sie sozusagen einen mechanischen Computer dar, der sich in der Architektur nur wenig von den elektronischen Rechnern unterschied, wie sie hundert Jahre später entwickelt wurden. Jedoch wurde sie nie gebaut, sondern existierte nur in Babbages Entwürfen.) In diesen Anmerkungen verglich sie die Analytische mit der Differenz- Die 1980 entwickelte Programmiersprache Ada wurde ihr zu Ehren benannt.

Skrifter Her er du nu: Forsiden Digitale Digerati Augusta Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) blev døbt Augusta Ada Byron som datter af den berømte engelsk poet og Anna Isabella Milbanke. Forældrene var dog aldrig lykkelige - de blev separerede og Lord Byron forlod mor og datter og tilmed England få måneder efter Augusta blev født. Moderen havde en interesse for matematik og ikke mindst for at datteren ikke skulle komme til at ligne den flyvske og romantiske far for meget. Det medførte at der blev fokuseret meget på matematik og naturvidenskab i datterens uddannelse. Hun modtog undervisning af bl.a. Augustus DeMorgan, som var den første professor i matematik på "London University". Det var i nogen grad usædvanligt at en kvinde på dette tidspunkt fordybede sig i naturvidenskaberne. Som 18-årig hørte hun en forelæsning af Charles Babbage omhandlende hans "Difference Engine" den konstruktion som i dag opfattes som foreløberen for vor tids computere. Det blev indledningen på en lang korrespondance mellem de to. Babbage havde ideen til en videreudvikling af "the Difference Engine", som han kaldte "the Analytical Engine" og selvom denne aldrig blev konstrueret, står ideerne om abstrakt datamanpulation, som var en del af konceptet, tilbage som nogle meget visionære tanker. Man skal tænke på, at vi befinder os i midten af 1800-tallet. Det var under arbejdet med disse ideer at hun viste hvordan man vha. "the Analytical Engine" kunne udlede de såkaldte "Bernoulli tal" og dette arbejde, som af nogle senere er blevet betragtet som forløberen for det første computerprogram. Således kaldes hun af nogle den første programmør.

Extractions: mccormick@cs.uni.edu On December 10, 1815, Anna Isabella (Annabella) Byron, whose husband was Lord Byron, gave birth to a daughter, Augusta Ada. Ada's father was a romantic poet whose fame derived not only from his works but also from his wild and scandalous behavior. His marriage to Annabella was strained from the beginning, and Annabella left Byron just a little more than a month after Ada was born. By April of that year, Annabella and Byron signed separation papers, and Byron left England, never to return. Byron's writings show that he greatly regretted that he was unable to see his daughter. In one poem, for example, he wrote of Ada, I see thee not. I hear thee not. But none can be so rapt in thee. Byron died in Greece, at the age of 36, and one of the last things he said was, Oh my poor dear child! My dear Ada! My God, could I but have seen her!

Charles Babbage and Ada, Countess of Lovelace, lived in the London of Dickens and Prince Albert (and knew them both). A hundred years before some of the best minds in the world used the resources of a nation to build a digital computer, these two eccentric inventor-mathematicians dreamed of building their "Analytical Engine." He constructed a partial prototype and she used it, with notorious lack of success, in a scheme to win a fortune at the horse races. Despite their apparent failures, Babbage was the first true computer designer, and Ada was history's first programmer.

http://www.kerryr.net/pioneers/ada.htm

Extractions: The only child of British Poet Lord George Gordon Byron and Annabella Milkbanke (who was herself a proficient mathematician in an age when ladies just didn't do that sort of thing), Augusta Ada Byron showed an early flair for math and logical thought in what was to be a sadly short life. Mostly self-educated in mathematics, as her studies advanced Ada found a mentor in Augustus de Morgan, first professor of Mathematics at the University of London - and one of the people that can be held accountable for the development of modern algebra. Ada kept up regular correspondence with the leading scientific lights of her day, and it was through her friendship with writer Mary Somerville that she was eventually (and perhaps inevitably) introduced to Charles Babbage Ada was fascinated with Babbage's theoretical difference and analytical engines, and in 1842 agreed to translate a French account of his technical presentations into English. By 1843 the original "Notions sur la machine analytique de Charles Babbage" (Elements of Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, Luigi Frederico Menabrea, 1842) had tripled in size with the addition of her own notes and observations.
