Ada Byron's Life And Accomplishments

On December 10, 1815 an amazing Mathematician was born in London,U.K. Her name was Augusta Ada Byron later known as Countess of Lovelace. She was born in a time when the revolution was beginning in Portugal and Turkey invaded Syria. Napoleon also escaped from exile on the Mediterranean of Elba around 1816. The 36 year old deceased mathematician spent her early childhood surrounded by tutors of her mother's choice. Her mother, left widowed after an unhappy marriage and death of her late husband, raised her alone. Ada never had a chance to develop a relationship with her father. She did not even get to see the a photo of father till she was 20 years old. In times like these women were seen as possessions and no of people who should

Ada’s mother had other plans. She taught her daughter self-control amongst other things. Ada was forced to lie still for extended periods of time. Her mother insisted she had more than just the basic understandings of math and science so Ada was given 3 tutors: William Frend, Dr.William King(not her husband), and Mary Somerville. Each tutor had their own unique characteristics which made Augusta who she was. Mary in particular sent Ada math books, set up problems, advised her on deep study, and held deep conversations about math with her. After years of tutoring she attended the University of London with a professor by the name of Augustus de Morgan. She then met who she thought to be the love of her life, William King in 1835 and birthed him 3 beautiful babies: Anne Blunt, Ralph-King-Milbanke, and Byron King-Noel. She was later recognized as Ada Countess of Lovelace. Soon then after she met Charles Babbage who became her mentor. He and Ada became great friends. He was a mathematician with a

Ada knew better than to miss an opportunity to show the world her knowledge so she added her own thoughts to the translation. She had notes on the matter 3 times longer than the original notes, which were published later on in 1843. After being recognized for her work on Charles Babbage’s proposed mechanical general purpose computer;the Analytical Engine, she wrote the world's first Machine algorithm for an early computing machine that only existed on paper at one point. The amazing thing was she understood the Analytical Engine as well as Babbage did. She suggested the data input that would program the machine to calculate Bernoulli numbers; mechanical calculator. She knew numbers could represent more than just quantities and a machine that could manipulate numbers could be more to manipulate any data represented by numbers.She predicted that such a machine could be used to compose music, produce graphic images, and be useful to science. She created ways codes could be used to handle letters and symbols for the device. From then on she was considered to be the 1st computer programmer signing all her work “A.A.L” meaning Augusta Ada Lovelace. The Mother, Inventor, Enchantress of Numbers, and Mathematician had things take a turn for the worst in the late years of
