http://www.xs4all.nl/~androom/biography/p004288.htm

Extractions: She became involved with Charles Babbage's Analytical Machine and translated and annotated Luigi Federico Menabrea's description of it ("Notions sur la machine analytique de Charles Babbage" (1842), translated as "Elements of Charles Babbage's Analytical Machine"). The annotations were more extensive than Menabrea's description and an important addition was her analysis of how the analytical machine could be programmed to calculate Bernoulli numbers. This is why she was regarded as the first computer programmer in the twentieth century. After the birth of her third child she suffered a mental collapse and her doctors gave her a prescription for a combination of alcohol and drugs, among them laudanum. She had hallucinations and at one time thought she was communicating with God. She managed to stop using the drugs, but then started to bet on horse races. She used Babbage to bring her money to the bookmakers to hide her gambling habit. Af the time she was dying of cancer she was in debt as well as being blackmailed.

Extractions: Not much seems to be written about Ada's youth. We know her mathematical aptitude was certainly recognized and encouraged by her mother. We also know that like many other young women of her time that she enjoyed concerts, theatres, and parties. In other words she was a very well rounded individual. At the age of seventeen Ada was introduced to Mary Somerville, a mathematician whom Ada deeply admired. Mrs. Somerville encouraged Ada in her mathematical studies. It was through Mrs. Somerville that Ada met her future husband. Ada Byron was married at nineteen to a man who was eleven years her senior. This man was William Lord King who soon became the Earl of Lovelace. They enjoyed a warm and caring relationship. Lord Lovelace took a keen interest in his wife's work and was very supportive. Intellectually, Ada was superior , regardless, it created no problem in their marriage. Lord Lovelace accepted his wife's talents and took pride in her many accomplishments.

http://www.adahome.com/articles/1997-12/al_birthday.html

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! Meanwhile, Annabella, who was eventually to become a baroness in her own right, and who was herself educated as both a mathematician and a poet, carried on with Ada's upbringing and education. Annabella gave Ada her first instruction in mathematics, but it soon became clear that Ada's gift for the subject was such that it required more extensive tutoring. Ada received further training in mathematics from Augustus DeMorgan, who is today famous for one of the basic theorems of Boolean Algebra which forms the basis for modern computers. By the age of eight, Ada had also demonstrated an interest in mechanical devices and was building detailed model boats.

Extractions: Biography Ada Byron Lovelace (December 12,1815 - November 27,1852) A great female mathematician , Augusta Ada Byron, was brought into the world on Tuesday, December 12, 1815. Her father was the popular and controversial English poet, Lord Byron and her mother was Annabella Milbanke. Their marriage was an unhappy one ending when Annabella left her husband's house taking one-month-old Ada with her. Ada's grandparents generously took her in while her mother traveled around Europe, on doctor's advice, in order to keep healthy. Her mother, Lady Byron, had always loved mathematics. She was nicknamed by Byron, the "Princess of Parallelograms." Ada's mother wanted her to be just as interested in math and so hired her old tutor, William Frend. Frend was especially good at astronomy and algebra, but would have nothing to do with imaginary or negative numbers. He believed that taking an interest in this newer mathematics would make one superstitious. Ada asked Frend questions that he didn't understand and was independently studying higher mathematics (including negative and imaginary numbers). A terrible case of measles left Ada's legs temporarily paralyzed and she was bedridden for months. She, however, did not mind her condition too much because it allowed her to pay close attention to her work without interruptions. When Ada was seventeen she was ready to "come out." This meant an introduction to the King and Queen and that she was ready for marriage. Ada loved dancing at the balls and all the people she met. At one social event she met the acclaimed professor of mathematics, Charles Babbage. Babbage had invented the "Difference Engine" which could do addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. Ada was enthralled with Babbage and his ideas.

Su padre abandonó definitivamente Gran Bretaña y su hija nunca llegó a conocerlo en persona. Fue educada de forma privada por tutores y también fue autodidacta, aunque fue ayudada en sus estudios avanzados por Augustus De Morgan, el primer profesor de matemáticas de la Universidad de Londres. El 8 de Julio de 1835 se casó con William King, octavo barón de King y en 1838 adquirió el título de condesa de Lovelace.

Extractions: Augusta Ada Byron, a contemporary of the early nineteenth century, was a woman ahead of her time. She died when she was only 36 and for the next hundred years she would be known as the daughter of Lord Byron the poet. Only in this century would she become known as the first "computer programmer." Ada's parents, Lord and Lady Byron, separated when Ada was very young and she was subsequently raised by her mother. Ada was naturally curious and spent a great deal of time on her studies. Her first love was geography, but this was soon replaced with a new passion, mathematics. She started corresponding with mathematicians about problems and ideas as her studies progressed and in 1833, when Ada was 18 years old, she met the scientist Charles Babbage, inventor of the Difference Engine, at a party. Babbage invited her to visit the studio where he kept his invention and two weeks later, accompanied by her mother, she did. She was fascinated by Babbage's invention and began corresponding with Babbage regularly, learning as much as she could about his invention and ideas. Ada and Babbage would remain friends and collaborators for the rest of her life. Babbage's Difference Engine was a machine designed to perform mathematical computations. It was the application of the method of finite differences, and was capable of storing numbers and performing additions, thus supplying a method by which tables generated by polynomials could be computed by a uniform process. Babbage's ideas for improvement of the Engine led to his second invention, the Analytical Engine - the world's first computer. He was inspired by the principle of division of labor. During a time when mathematical tables had to be laboriously computed by hand by human "computers," he saw that machine automation of these tasks, which required precision and repetition, would speed up the process and reduce errors.

http://www.ashfield-dc.gov.uk/see_and_do/churches/ada_lovelace.shtml

Extractions: Lady Byron wished her daughter to be unlike her poetical father, and she saw to it that Ada received tutoring in mathematics and music, as disciplines to counter dangerous poetic tendencies. But Ada's complex inheritance became apparent as early as 1828, when she produced the design for a flying machine. It was mathematics that gave her life its wings. Lady Byron and Ada moved in an elite London society, one in which gentlemen not members of the clergy or occupied with politics or the affairs of a regiment were quite likely to spend their time and fortunes pursuing botany, geology, or astronomy. In the early nineteenth century there were no "professional" scientists (indeed, the word "scientist" was only coined by William Whewell in 1836)but the participation of noblewomen in intellectual pursuits was not widely encouraged.
