Charles Dickens to Ada: Stop haunting me When she was thirty-three, Ada spent some time in Brighton with Charles Dickens. Soon afterwards (18 February 1849), he wrote her that strange things were happening at his hotel. He wondered whether Ada was "haunting" him, and if so: "I hope you won't do so." Three years later, Dickens visited Ada at her deathbed. He was one of the last non-family members, other than her physicians, to see her alive. Charles Babbage on Ada's notes "If you are as fastidious about the acts of your friendship as you are about those of your pen, I much fear I shall equally lose your friendship and your Notes. I am very reluctant to return your admirable & philosophic 'Note A.' Pray do not alter it . . . All this was impossible for you to know by intuition and the more I read your notes the more surprised I am at them and regret not having earlier explored so rich a vein of the noblest metal." Ada Byron King

Ada Augusta Lovelace Fascinating facts about Ada Augusta Lovelace inventor of an early computer, the Analytical Engine in 1842. Byron, (Augusta) Ada, Countess of Lovelace (1815-1852), British mathematician. Byron laid some of the early conceptual and technical groundwork for high technology by helping develop an early computer. The daughter of English poet Lord Byron, Ada Byron was born in London. With the help of friends and tutors, she taught herself geometry and later attended classes in astronomy and mathematics. In 1833 she met British mathematician and inventor Charles Babbage. He had invented the Difference Engine, a mechanical device designed to handle complicated mathematical problems. Byron showed her understanding of the concept of a programmed computer in 1842, when she translated from French and annotated a paper by the Italian engineer Luigi F. Menabrea on Babbage's Difference Engine. She also collaborated with Babbage to invent the Analytical Engine, an archetype of the modern digital computer. The technology of their time was not capable of translating their ideas into practical use, but the Analytical Engine had many features of the modern computer. It could read data from a deck of punched cards, store data, and perform arithmetic operations. Components of Byron's work remain in the modern digital electronic computer that receives a set of instructions, then carries out those instructions. Byron's set of instructions was a forerunner of modern programming languages and historians have credited Byron as the first computer programmer.

Augusta Ada Byron (1815-1852) Augusta Ada Byron was born to Anna Isabella Milbanke and George Gordon Noel Byron (1788-1824), the famous poet Lord Byron, on 10 December 1815 in London, England. Lord Byron separated from his wife within months after Ada's birth. He left England in 1816 and never returned. He lived in Switzerland and Italy, and finally died of illness in 1824 at Missolonghi, Greece, where he had gone to fight for Greek independence from Turkey. Ada received mathematical tutoring from Augustus DeMorgan (1806-1871) . Ada's mother had an interest in mathematics and the desire to encourage the rational aspects of Ada's character in opposition to the romantic influences of her father. When she was 18, Ada heard a lecture about the difference engine designed by Charles Babbage (1791-1871) At 19 Ada married William King. Several years later he become the Earl of Lovelace, so she gained the title the Countess of Lovelace. They had two sons and a daughter: Byron Noel (1836), Anne Isabella (1837), and Ralph Gordon (1839). Beginning with a letter dated 18 January 1836 and continuing until her death, Ada wrote a large numbers of letters to Babbage.

Ada was named after Byron's half-sister Augusta Leigh , by whom he was rumoured to have fathered a child. It was Augusta who encouraged Byron to marry to avoid scandal, and he reluctantly chose Annabella. On January 16 , Annabella left Byron, taking 1-month old Ada with her. On April 21 , Byron signed the Deed of Separation and left England for good a few days later. He never saw either again. Biographies differ as to whether Ada lived with her mother: one claims that her mother dominated her life, even after marriage; another claims she never knew either parent.

Talk:Ada Lovelace From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This seems to be getting close to a definitive work now. Thanks for all the contributions and the first two links. I learned a lot researching this! Buz Cory As best I can figure out, Lady Ada was born Augusta Ada Byron, Ada being her middle name. Can anyone confirm this for certain? There are fragments of her notes on the analytical engine in one of the links I added. These will be put in the /notes page as I get the chance. Does anyone have access to the full notes as published in either The Ladies Diary or Taylors Memoirs Buz Cory The full article she translated and annotated is online. Link is on the analytical engine page. I think it is exaggerated to claim that "she anticipated much of what is now taught as computer science". She described a general purpose computer and produced several example programs, that's it. She deserves the title of first programmer. If you look at contemporary computer science, you see stacks, trees, queues, sorting algorithms, graph algorithms, object oriented paradigm, compiler construction, operating systems etc. None of this was anticipated by Ada. AxelBoldt Thanks. That comment about "much of computer science" was based on the opinion of another. Now that I have read (or at least skimmed) the "Notes" myself, I am inclined to agree with you.

Augusta Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace 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.

Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (1815 - 1852) 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.

London, November 27, 1852] Lovelace was fascinated by Charles Babbage's idea for a new mechanical calculating machine, the Difference Engine. In 1842 Luigi F. Menabrea [b. Chamb©ry, Savoy, France, September 4, 1809, d. St Cassin, France, May 24, 1896] summarized the concept behind Babbage's more advanced calculating machine, the Analytical Engine. Lovelace translated Menabrea's article into English and added her own notes as well as diagrams and other information. She predicted that such a machine, which Babbage never built, would have many applications beyond arithmetic calculations, from scientific research to composing music and producing graphics. She explained how the machine might be instructed to perform a series of calculations. The programming language ADA is named for her, although the countess has only a slender claim to the frequently used label of "first programmer." But she really did write a program, one for calculating Bernoulli numbersnot a mean feat. Wikipedia Ada Lovelace Ada Lovelace Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace

Home "I do not believe that my father was (or ever could have been) such a Poet as I shall be an Analyst; (& Metaphysician); for with me the two go together indissolubly." Augusta Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace (1815 - 1852) 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.
