Ada Lovelace's Life And Accomplishments

Ada Lovelace Ada Lovelace or Augusta Ada King-Noel was a very important person in mathematics. She paved a very important way to upgrade they way people perceived computer programing. She was considered the first person to write the first computer program. Ada was extremely educated for a woman in the 1800’s. In a man's world in the 1800’s women were not expect to be as influential as Ada Lovelace was.

Augusta Ada Byron was born in London, England, United kingdom on December 10, 1815. Her father was a famous poet named Lord Byron. He was a very mean, mentally unstable, abusive person. Lord Byron left Ada and her mother when ada was only one month old. Her mother was named Anne Isabelle Milbanke and she was not very close to her daughter
“Babbage was Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, a position once held by isaac newton and held more recently by Stephen Hawking.”(famousscientist.org). Babbage invited Ada to see his new machine that he had invented. The machine was called the difference engine, a machine that made mathematical calculations. He was fed up with people doing long math problems incorrectly so he created a machine that would calculated this lengthy math calculations. Ada asked Charles if he could send the blueprints of the machine to her and he did, she wanted to understand how the machine worked. Later on Ada was asked to translate Babbage's notes about the machine that were written in french. She not only translated the french to english but she added her own noted which made the article three times longer than it was originally. Her notes were published in 1843 in the English Science Journal. In her notes she described how the machine could receive a certain instruction and i could be repeated by the engine. This process was called looping, it is used in computer we use today. Unfortunately her work received very little attention in her time because is was way too forward thinking and was not greatly
