Augusta Ada Lovelace Augusta Ada Byron was born on 10 December 1815. She was named after Augusta, Byron's half sister, who had been his mistress. After Byron had left for the Continent with a parting shot - 'When shall we three meet again?' - Ada was brought up by her mother. The lines from Childe Harold were very well known:- `Is thy face like thy mother's, my fair child! Ada! sole daughter of my house and of my heart? When last I saw thy young blue eyes they smiled' And then we parted,-not as now we part, but with a hope.' and as Byron's daughter Ada acquired the romance that attached to everyone associated with that magnificent poete maudit. In 1833 Ada met Babbage and was fascinated with both him and his Engines. Later Ada became a competent student of mathematics, which was most unusual for a woman at the time. She translated a paper on Babbage's Engines by General Menabrea, later to be prime minister of the newly united Italy. Under Babbage's careful supervision Ada added extensive notes (c.f.

44. The Introduction Of Analysis Into England Another important member of the Analytical Society was charles babbage, who wasborn at Totnes on Dec. 26, 1792; he entered at Trinity College, Cambridge, http://www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/HistMath/People/19thCentury/RouseBall/RB_Engl19C.htm

The Introduction of Analysis into England From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Ivory The Cambridge Analytical School Woodhouse Peacock ... Herschel The complete isolation of the English school and its devotion to geometrical methods are the most marked features in its history during the latter half of the eighteenth century; and the absence of any considerable contribution to the advancement of mathematical science was a natural consequence. One result of this was that the energy of English men of science was largely devoted to practical physics and practical astronomy, which were in consequence studied in Britain perhaps more than elsewhere. Ivory Almost the only English mathematician at the beginning of this century who used analytical methods, and whose work requires mention here, is Ivory, to whom the celebrated theorem in attractions is due. Sir James Ivory was born in Dundee in 1765, and died on September 21, 1842. After graduating at St. Andrews he became the managing partner in a flax-spinning company in Forfarshire, but continued to devote most of his leisure to mathematics. In 1804 he was made professor at the Royal Military College at Marlow, which was subsequently moved to Sandhurst; he was knighted in 1831. He contributed numerous papers to the Philosophical Transactions , the most remarkable being those on attractions. In one of these, in 1809, he shewed how the attraction of a homogeneous ellipsoid on an external point is a multiple of that of another ellipsoid on an internal point: the latter can be easily obtained. He criticized Laplace's solution of the method of least squares with unnecessary bitterness, and in terms which shewed that he had failed to understand it.

Tools for Thought by Howard Rheingold April, 2000: a revised edition of Tools for Thought is available from MIT Press , including a revised chapter with 1999 interviews of Doug Engelbart, Bob Taylor, Alan Kay, Brenda Laurel, and Avron Barr. The idea that people could use computers to amplify thought and communication, as tools for intellectual work and social activity, was not an invention of the mainstream computer industry or orthodox computer science, nor even homebrew computerists; their work was rooted in older, equally eccentric, equally visionary, work. You can't really guess where mind-amplifying technology is going unless you understand where it came from. - HLR Chapter One : The Computer Revolution Hasn't Happened Yet Chapter Two : The First Programmer Was a Lady Chapter Three : The First Hacker and his Imaginary Machine Chapter Four : Johnny Builds Bombs and Johnny Builds Brains Chapter Five : Ex-Prodigies and Antiaircraft Guns Chapter Six : Inside Information Chapter Seven : Machines to Think With Chapter Eight : Witness to History: The Mascot of Project Mac Chapter Nine : The Loneliness of a Long-Distance Thinker Chapter Ten : The New Old Boys from the ARPAnet Chapter Eleven : The Birth of the Fantasy Amplifier Chapter Twelve : Brenda and the Future Squad Chapter Thirteen : Knowledge Engineers and Epistemological Entrepreneurs Chapter Fourteen : Xanadu, Network Culture, and Beyond

Babbage was born in Teignmouth, Devonshire, and was educated at the University of Cambridge. He became a fellow of the Royal Society in 1816 and was active in the founding of the Analytical, the Royal Astronomical, and the Statistical societies. In the 1820s Babbage began developing his Difference Engine , a mechanical device that can perform simple mathematical calculations. Babbage started to build his Difference Engine, but was unable to complete it because of a lack of funding. However, in 1991 British scientists, following Babbage's detailed drawings and specifications, constructed the Difference Engine. The machine works flawlessly, calculating up to a precision of 31 digits, proving that Babbage's design was sound. In the 1830s Babbage began developing his Analytical Engine , which was designed to carry out more complicated calculations, but this device was never built. Babbage's book

if(self.location==top.location)self.location="../index.htm?biography/p000840.htm"; Babbage, Charles MATHEMATICIAN (ENGLAND) BORN 26 Dec 1791, Teignmouth, Devonshire - DIED 18 Oct 1871, London GRAVE LOCATION London: Kensal Green Cemetery, Kensal Green Born in Devonshire as the son of the banker Benjamin Babbage. As a child he suffered ill health. The young Babbage clearly had a passion for mathematics and a disdlike for the classics. He was educated by private tutors and then at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he received his M.A. in 1817. In 1830 he designed an analytical engine (on paper), which operated in a way similar to computers. Another of his designs was a difference engine, meant to produce tables. In 1827 he produced a table of logarithms from 1 to 108000; Babbage wanted to quantify everything. 1827 had been a year full of disaster. His father, his wife and two of his children died and he went abroad for his own health. Back in England he obtained the Lucasian Chair at Cambridge in 1828, but he never presented a single lecture. Babbage was one of the founders of the Astronomical Society (1820) as well as the Statistical Society (1834). In 1834 work on the Difference Engine came to an end. The government granted no more money and Babbage had already invested a huge sum of his own.
