OUTLİNE • Childhood • Adults • Working whit Charles Babbage • Died
Ada Lovelace was the daughter of Lord Byron and Anne Isabelle Milbanke. • She was born 10 December 1815 in England. • After a month from Ada was born her father separated from his wife and left England. • Ada never met her father and was raised by her mother.
When Ada was 8 years old her mother aware of Ada was very interested in mathematics and logic and she decided to support Ada. • When Ada was 13 years old she design her first invention which is a simple flying machine. • When Ada 17 years old she was strongly related to botany, geology and astronomy also one of the scientists of the era was to become Ada's lifelong friend which is Charles Babbage. • In 1835, Ada married William King, ten years her senior, and when King inherited a noble title in 1838, they became the Earl and Countess of Lovelace. Ada had three children. The family and its fortunes were very much directed by Ada Lovelace, whose domineering was rarely opposed by King.
Although she was married, she continued the working related to matematic with Charles Babbage. • Charles Babbage was professor of mathematics at Cambridge, was known as the inventor of the Difference Engine, an elaborate calculating machine that operated by the method of finite differences. Ada and Babbage began a voluminous correspondence on the topics of mathematics, logic, and ultimately all subjects. • Babbage had made plans in 1834 for a new kind of calculating machine an Analytical Engine. His sponsors refused to support a second machine with the first unfinished, but Babbage found sympathy for his new project abroad. In 1842, an Italian mathematician, Louis Menebrea, published a memoir in French on the subject of the Analytical Engine. Babbage enlisted Ada as translator for the memoir, and during a nine-month period, she worked on the article and a set of Notes she appended to it. These are the source of her enduring fame.
She not only translated the original French text in English, but also added her own thoughts and ideas on the machine. Her notes ended up being three times longer than the original article. • Although Babbage and his assistants had sketched out programs for his engine before, Lovelace’s are the most completeand the first to be published; She also saw possibilities in it that Babbage hadn't: she realised that the machine could compose pieces of music so she is often referred to as “the first computer programmer”. • Her work was published in 1843, in an English science journal. Ada used only the initials "A.A.L.," for Augusta Ada Lovelace, in the publication. • In her notes, Ada described how codes could be created for the device to handle letters and symbols along with numbers. She also theorized a method for the engine to repeat a series of instructions, a process known as looping that computer programs use today. The engine was now recognized as a model for a computer, and Ada Lovelace's notes as a description of a computer and software.
Consequently, • Ada was most beautiful mathematician, • Not perfect wife but perfect mother also daughter, • Founder of scientific computation, • The first computer programmer, • Also she is one of the model to be proud of her success.
Ada Lovelace died at the age of thirty-six, on 27 November 1852 from uterine cancer. • In 1980, the U.S. Department of Defense settled on the name "Ada" for a new standardized computer language, named in honor of Ada Lovelace.
