Ada Lovelace Augusta Ada Lovelace, known as Ada Lovelace was born in what is now, Piccadilly Terrace, London, on December 10, 1815 (Ada King, countess of Lovelace). Ada Lovelace was a brilliant mathematician who later was introduced to Charles Babbage, whom she started working with. Lovelace translated an article in English and expressed her comments. Ada Lovelace is considered to be the first computer programmer in the 1800’s, and the first female to have written instructions for computer programming

In the early nineteenth century, Ada Augusta Byron Lovelace, made herself known among the world of men and her work still influences today's world. She is considered the "Mother of Computer Programming" and the "Enchantress of Numbers." The world of computers began with the futuristic knowledge of Charles Babbage and Lady Lovelace. She appeared to know more about Babbage's work of the Analytical Engine than he himself knew. During
Augusta Ada King or Count of Lovelace was born with the name Augusta Ada Byron but who’s now known as Ada Lovelace was born on December 10th, during the year of 1815. She was born in London and died November 27th, in 1852. She was the daughter of a famous poet known as Lord Byron. Ada is reflected to have printed instructions for the first computer program in the mid 1800s. She was best known for being a skilled mathematician. Ada Lovelace was encouraged to be a mathematician from her mother who
Ada & Grace: Practical Visionaries Imagine a computer programmer who still programs in bits and bytes and has never heard of the terms "bug" or "de-bugging." Then, stretch your mind much further, and try to imagine a world without computers. Most of us, no matter what age, don't have such powerful imaginations. But without the contributions of women like Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, who developed the first compiler, and Lady Augusta Ada Byron Lovelace, who made the idea of an Analytical Engine
The Birth of Computer Programming Ada Augusta Byron King Countess of Lovelace In a world of men, for men, and made by men, there were a lucky few women who could stand up and be noticed. In the early nineteenth century, Lovelace Augusta Byron King, Countess of Lovelace, made her mark among the world of men that has influenced even today’s world. She was the “Enchantress of Numbers” and the “Mother of Computer Programming.” The world of computers began with the futuristic knowledge of one Charles
17-year-old girl Lady Ada Lovelace. Charles demonstrated the portion of the Difference Engine to Lovelace and she became interested in the concept of the machine. When Charles started to create the Analytical Engine, Lovelace assisted Babbage in the development of the machine by designing some of its internal characteristics. She created the first computer program that used Bernoulli numbers for the Analytical Engine to operate. Although Charles Babbage wrote the first computer code, Lovelace did the first
I think Ada Lovelace is psychic, she once said ”That brain of mine is something more than merely mortal, as time will show.” for me it saying she knew her mind was like no mortal after all was rumored to have created the first computer algorithm. Ada Lovelace was lot in the footnotes of history, but now is more well known than ever, she and Percy Jackson both follow the hero’s journey, a journey every hero is supposed to do in their quest. Although they are very different Ada Lovelace and Percy
they indeed existed. One of the first pioneers in the technology field was Ada Bryon, Lady Lovelace. During her lifespan, from the year 1815 to the year of 1852, Ada became a famous mathematician and the writer of the first computer algorithm (Hooper sec 9). However even after Ada, there were a limited number of women who proceeded into careers in any areas of technology. Shortly after the death of Ada Bryon, Lady Lovelace, Marie Curie was born in 1867. In a time when most scientist were men, Curie
The Life of Charles Babbage Charles Babbage 1791-1871 Born December 26, 1791 in Teignmouth, Devonshire UK, Charles Babbage was known as the “Father of Computing” for his contributions to the basic design of the computer through his Analytical Engine. The Analytical Engine was the earliest expression of an all-purpose, programmable computer. His previous Difference Engine was a special purpose device intended for the production of tables. Both the Difference and Analytical Engines were the
Charles Babbage was born on December 26, 1791. He was one of the four children with the father as Benjamin Babbage and the mother as Betsy Plumleigh Teape, he had two brothers and a sister. His role in modern society was so vast that millions to millions of people today, depend upon his inventions. His great creations include the Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine. These machines were the first steps to the beautiful modern computers of the 20th century. Mr. Benjamin Babbage, Charles Babbage’s
Born George Gordon, Lord Byron was born on January 22nd, 1788 in London. He was known as the most flamboyant and notorious of the romantics in his era. His father, Captain John (Mad Jack) Byron was absent for most of his son’s life and in turn caused a bitter and angry teenage George. Byron was born with a clubbed right foot, causing him to be self conscious throughout his life. As a boy, young George endured an absentee father, an abusive nurse, and an unstable mother. In the summer of 1789
Topic: Ada Lovelace General Purpose: To inform Specific Purpose: To inform the class about Ada Lovelace. She is considered to be one of the pioneers of computer science and modern technology. Attention-Getting Device: Most of us use smartphone, and whenever we have a discussion about the contribution of different people in making this device, we often talk about Steve Jobs, Tim Cook or Bill Gates. If someone is really nerdy, they might go back to the 19th century and talk about Charles Babbage.
nonexistent. Ada is a mute woman who refuses to speak since the age of six and must use facial expressions, body language, sign-language, her daughter, or her piano to express herself. This action make her no longer silent unlike Macabéa. However, in the many similar traits to Macabéa, Ada fears emptiness and Ada maintains isolation like Macabéa. By willfully not learning to speak, Ada faces isolation with the threat of loss, abandonment, loneliness, and failed connections with others. Ada depends on
Ada The Ada language is the result of the most extensive and most expensive language design effort ever undertaken. The United States Department of Defense (DoD) was concerned in the 1970¡¦s by the number of different programming languages being used for its projects, some of which were proprietary and/or obsolete. Up until 1974, half of the applications at the DoD were embedded systems. An embedded system is one where the computer hardware is embedded in the device it controls. More than
contributors to the expansion of computing machines and computer science and several of the pioneers of computing technology were female. Ada Byron Lovelace is one of the few women who get credit for her early work in computing. She lived during the 1800s working closely with Babbage on his Analytic Engine. When translating Babbage's lectures, Lovelace added her own extensive notes to the material (Gurer, "Pioneering Women" 175). She was able to visualize how the Engine could be programmed
time period was not reliable or fast enough, he was unable to produce his dream. Babbage’s idea was based on the mathematical insights of George Boole, who first stated the principles of logic used in today’s digital computers (Computer 1). Also, Ada Lovelace, Babbage’s assistant, is known as the first programmer because she introduced program loops and subroutines. The development of electronics led to the first computers. Once electromechanical technology entered the world, calculators began being
The Theme of Imprisonment in Great Expectations The renowned poet, Richard Lovelace, once wrote that "Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage." Although many think of a prison as a physical building or a jailhouse, it can also be a state of mind. A great number of people are imprisoned mentally and emotionally. Charles Dickens expresses this message in his eminent novel, Great Expectations. This book is about a simple laboring boy who grew into a gentleman, and slowly realized
