Ada Lovelace Research Paper

Augusta Ada Byron the Countess of Lovelace, known best as Ada Lovelace. She took the mathematics and computer societies by storm, Ada is a natural gifted mathematician and she is also considered to have written the instructions for the first ever computer program in the 1800s. She introduced a ton of computer concepts and was considered the first computer programmer. Ada Lovelace, born December 10, 1815, in Piccadilly, Middlesex (London), England, is the only daughter of the famous Poet Lord George Gordon Byron and Lady Anne Isabella Milbanke Byron. Her parents split up not too long after Ada was born, her father left England soon after the separation and never saw Ada again, he died when Ada was 8 years old in Greece. Her mother, through

Her mother and Ada went to Babbage’s studio where the Difference Engine was, a calculating engine that could do mathematical calculations, Ada unlike many others, understood what Babbage was aiming for and saw the beauty in the invention. In 1834, Lovelace met Mary Somerville, whom she would later become the protégée of, and her future husband William King. Mary Somerville is an accomplished woman whose texts were used at Cambridge and translated Laplace’s works into English. With Somerville, Ada enjoyed mathematics and science demonstrations, Mary sent Ada mathematics books and advised her on her studies, and set challenging problems for her. Lovelace heard of Babbage’s new calculating machine the Analytical Engine, a machine that could foresee and act on foresight. Ada married William King on July 8, 1835, who later became an Earl, making her the Countess of Lovelace. They had three children together, Byron, Annabella, and Ralph Gordon. It was not until 1841 that Ada began studying advanced study in math. In 1843, Ada King published an annotated translation of Menabrea’s Notions based on the Analytical Engine which turned out to be triple the amount of information than the original article, which were later published entirely and was the highlight, of Ada Lovelace’s
