+<p><strong>Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace</strong> (<i>née</i> <strong>Byron</strong>; 10 December 1815 –
|
|
|
+ 27 November 1852) was an English mathematician and writer, chiefly known for her work on <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Babbage">Charles Babbage</a>'s proposed mechanical general-purpose
|
|
|
+ computer, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytical_Engine">Analytical Engine</a>. She was the first to
|
|
|
+ recognise that the machine had applications beyond pure calculation, and published the first <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm">algorithm</a> intended to be carried out by such a machine. As a
|
|
|
+ result, she is sometimes regarded as the first to recognise the full potential of a "<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing_machine">computing machine</a>" and one of the first computer <a
|
|
|

|
|
|
+ other women.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-ABCL-6">[6]</a> Byron separated from his
|
|
|
+ wife a month after Ada was born and left England forever four months later. He commemorated the parting in a poem
|
|
|
+ that begins, "Is thy face like thy mother's my fair child! ADA! sole daughter of my house and heart?".<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-7">[7]</a> He died of disease in the <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_War_of_Independence">Greek War of Independence</a> when Ada was eight
|
|
|
+ years old. Her mother remained bitter and promoted Ada's interest in mathematics and logic in an effort to prevent
|
|
|
+ her from developing her father's perceived <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insanity">insanity</a>. Despite
|
|
|
+ this, Ada remained interested in Byron, naming her two sons Byron and Gordon. Upon her eventual death, she was
|
|
|
+ buried next to him at her request. Although often ill in her childhood, Ada pursued her studies assiduously. She
|
|
|
+ married <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_King-Noel,_1st_Earl_of_Lovelace">William King</a> in 1835.
|
|
|
+ King was made Earl of Lovelace in 1838, Ada thereby becoming Countess of Lovelace.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Her educational and social exploits brought her into contact with scientists such as <a

|
|
|
+ education. Ada described her approach as "poetical science"<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEToole1998234%E2%80%93235-8">[8]</a> and
|
|

|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEToole1998156%E2%80%93157-9">[9]</a></p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>When she was a teenager, her mathematical talents led her to a long working relationship and friendship with fellow
|
|
|
+ British mathematician <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Babbage">Charles Babbage</a>, who is known as
|
|
|
+ "the father of computers". She was in particular interested in Babbage's work on the Analytical Engine. Lovelace
|
|
|
+ first met him in June 1833, through their mutual friend, and her private tutor, <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Somerville">Mary Somerville</a>.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Between 1842 and 1843, Ada translated an article by Italian military engineer <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Menabrea">Luigi Menabrea</a> on the calculating engine, supplementing
|
|
|
+ it with an elaborate set of notes, simply called <i>Notes</i>. These notes contain what many consider to be the
|
|
|
+ first computer program—that is, an algorithm designed to be carried out by a machine. Other historians reject this
|
|
|
+ perspective and point out that Babbage's personal notes from the years 1836/1837 contain the first programs for the
|
|
|
+ engine.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-10">[10]</a> Lovelace's notes are important in
|
|
|
+ the early <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computers">history of computers</a>. She also developed
|
|
|
+ a vision of the capability of computers to go beyond mere calculating or number-crunching, while many others,
|
|
|
+ including Babbage himself, focused only on those capabilities.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFuegiFrancis200319,_25-11">[11]</a> Her
|
|
|
+ mindset of "poetical science" led her to ask questions about the Analytical Engine (as shown in her notes) examining
|
|
|
+ how individuals and society relate to technology as a collaborative tool.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-ABCL-6">[6]</a></p>
|
|

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Byron">Lord Byron</a> expected his child to be a "glorious boy" and was
|
|
|
+ disappointed when <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Byron">Lady Byron</a> gave birth to a girl.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTETurney197235-12">[12]</a> The child was named

|
|
|
+ "Ada" by Byron himself.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStein198517-13">[13]</a> On 16 January 1816,
|
|
|

|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirkby_Mallory">Kirkby Mallory</a>, taking their five-week-old daughter with

|

|
|
|
+<p>Ada Byron, aged seven, by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_d%27Orsay">Alfred d'Orsay</a>, 1822, <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerville_College,_Oxford">Somerville College, Oxford</a>.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>On 21 April, Lord Byron signed the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deed_of_separation">deed of separation</a>,
|
|
|
+ although very reluctantly, and left England for good a few days later.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTETurney197236%E2%80%9338-16">[16]</a> Aside
|
|
|
+ from an acrimonious separation, Lady Byron continued throughout her life to make allegations about her husband's
|
|
|
+ immoral behaviour.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWoolley199974%E2%80%9377-17">[17]</a> This
|
|
|
+ set of events made Lovelace infamous in Victorian society. She did not have a relationship with her father. He died
|
|
|
+ in 1824 when she was eight years old. Her mother was the only significant parental figure in her life.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-Turney_p._138-18">[18]</a> Lovelace was not shown the
|
|
|
+ family portrait of her father until her 20th birthday.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWoolley199910-19">[19]</a></p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Lovelace did not have a close relationship with her mother. She was often left in the care of her maternal
|
|
|
+ grandmother Judith, Hon. Lady Milbanke, who doted on her. However, because of societal attitudes of the time—which
|
|
|
+ favoured the husband in any separation, with the welfare of any child acting as mitigation—Lady Byron had to present
|
|
|
+ herself as a loving mother to the rest of society. This included writing anxious letters to Lady Milbanke about her
|
|
|
+ daughter's welfare, with a cover note saying to retain the letters in case she had to use them to show maternal
|
|
|
+ concern.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWoolley199985%E2%80%9387-20">[20]</a>
|
|
|
+ In one letter to Lady Milbanke, she referred to her daughter as "it": "I talk to it for your satisfaction, not my
|
|
|
+ own, and shall be very glad when you have it under your own."<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWoolley199986-21">[21]</a> Lady Byron had her
|
|
|
+ teenage daughter watched by close friends for any sign of moral deviation. Lovelace dubbed these observers the
|
|
|
+ "Furies" and later complained they exaggerated and invented stories about her.<a
|

|
|
+<p>Ada Byron, aged seventeen, 1832</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Lovelace was often ill, beginning in early childhood. At the age of eight, she experienced headaches that obscured
|
|
|
+ her vision.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStein198517-13">[13]</a> In June
|
|
|
+ 1829, she was paralysed after a bout of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measles">measles</a>. She was
|
|
|
+ subjected to continuous bed rest for nearly a year, something which may have extended her period of disability. By
|
|
|
+ 1831, she was able to walk with crutches. Despite the illnesses, she developed her mathematical and technological
|
|
|
+ skills.</p>
|
|
|
+<blockquote>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>When Ada was twelve years old, this future "Lady Fairy", as Charles Babbage affectionately called her, decided
|
|
|
+ she wanted to fly. Ada Byron went about the project methodically, thoughtfully, with imagination and passion.
|
|
|
+ Her first step, in February 1828, was to construct wings. She investigated different material and sizes. She
|
|
|
+ considered various materials for the wings: paper, oilsilk, wires, and feathers. She examined the <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_birds">anatomy of birds</a> to determine the right proportion
|
|
|
+ between the wings and the body. She decided to write a book, <i>Flyology,</i> illustrating, with plates, some of
|
|
|
+ her findings. She decided what equipment she would need; for example, a compass, to "cut across the country by
|
|
|
+ the most direct road", so that she could surmount mountains, rivers, and valleys. Her final step was to
|
|
|
+ integrate steam with the "art of flying".<a

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Ada Byron had an affair with a tutor in early 1833. She tried to elope with him after she was caught, but the tutor's
|
|
|
+ relatives recognised her and contacted her mother. Lady Byron and her friends covered the incident up to prevent a
|
|
|
+ public scandal.<a

|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTETurney1972138-26">[26]</a> By 1834 Ada was a

|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
+ This description followed their meeting on 24 February 1834 in which Ada made it clear to Hobhouse that she did not
|
|
|

|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTETurney1972139-28">[28]</a> Ada was a

|
|
+ descendant of the extinct <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baron_Lovelace">Barons Lovelace</a> and in 1838,

|
+ quickly fell for her and encouraged her to express any frustrated affections, claiming that his marriage meant he

|

|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWoolley1999289%E2%80%9396-35">[35]</a></p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>In 1841, Lovelace and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Medora_Leigh">Medora Leigh</a> (the daughter
|
|
|
+ of Lord Byron's half-sister Augusta Leigh) were told by Ada's mother that her father was also Medora's father.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTETurney1972159-36">[36]</a> On 27 February
|
|
|
+ 1841, Ada wrote to her mother: "I am not in the least <i>astonished</i>. In fact, you merely <i>confirm</i> what I
|
|
|
+ have for <i>years and years</i> felt scarcely a doubt about, but should have considered it most improper in me to
|
|
|
+ hint to you that I in any way suspected."<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTETurney1972160-37">[37]</a> She did not blame
|
|
|
+ the incestuous relationship on Byron, but instead blamed Augusta Leigh: "I fear she is more inherently wicked than
|
|
|
+ he ever was."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMoore1961431-38">[38]</a> In the
|
|
|
+ 1840s, Ada flirted with scandals: firstly, from a relaxed approach to extra-marital relationships with men, leading
|
|
|
+ to rumours of affairs;<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWoolley1999302-39">[39]</a> and secondly,
|
|
|
+ from her love of gambling. She apparently lost more than £3,000 on the horses during the later 1840s.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-40">[40]</a> The gambling led to her forming a
|
|
|
+ syndicate with male friends, and an ambitious attempt in 1851 to create a mathematical model for successful large
|
|
|
+ bets. This went disastrously wrong, leaving her thousands of pounds in debt to the syndicate, forcing her to admit
|
|
|
+ it all to her husband.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWoolley1999340%E2%80%9342-41">[41]</a> She
|
|
|
+ had a shadowy relationship with Andrew Crosse's son John from 1844 onwards. John Crosse destroyed most of their
|
|
|
+ correspondence after her death as part of a legal agreement. She bequeathed him the only heirlooms her father had
|
|
|
+ personally left to her.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWoolley1999336%E2%80%9337-42">[42]</a> During
|
|
|
+ her final illness, she would panic at the idea of the younger Crosse being kept from visiting her.<a

|
|
|
+<h3><strong>Education</strong></h3>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Throughout her illnesses, she continued her education.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStein198528%E2%80%9330-44">[44]</a> Her
|
|
|
+ mother's obsession with rooting out any of the insanity of which she accused Byron was one of the reasons that Ada
|
|
|
+ was taught mathematics from an early age. She was privately schooled in mathematics and science by <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Frend_(social_reformer)">William Frend</a>, <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_King_(physician)">William King</a>,<a

|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Somerville">Mary Somerville</a>, the noted 19th-century researcher and
|
|
|
+ scientific author. One of her later tutors was the mathematician and logician <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus_De_Morgan">Augustus De Morgan</a>. From 1832, when she was
|
|
|
+ seventeen, her mathematical abilities began to emerge,<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTETurney1972138-26">[26]</a> and her interest
|
|
|
+ in mathematics dominated the majority of her adult life. In a letter to Lady Byron, De Morgan suggested that her
|
|
|
+ daughter's skill in mathematics could lead her to become "an original mathematical investigator, perhaps of
|
|
|
+ first-rate eminence".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStein198582-46">[45]</a>
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Lovelace often questioned basic assumptions by integrating poetry and science. While studying <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_calculus">differential calculus</a>, she wrote to De Morgan:
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
+<blockquote>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>I may remark that the curious transformations many formulae can undergo, the unsuspected and to a beginner
|
|
|
+ apparently impossible identity of forms exceedingly dissimilar at first sight, is I think one of the chief
|
|
|
+ difficulties in the early part of mathematical studies. I am often reminded of certain sprites and fairies one
|
|
|
+ reads of, who are at one's elbows in <i>one</i> shape now, and the next minute in a form most dissimilar<a

|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEToole199899-47">[46]</a></p>
|
|
|
+</blockquote>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Lovelace believed that intuition and imagination were critical to effectively applying mathematical and scientific
|
|
|
+ concepts. She valued <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics">metaphysics</a> as much as mathematics,
|
|
|
+ viewing both as tools for exploring "the unseen worlds around us".<a

|
|
+ her work with Babbage, Lovelace continued to work on other projects. In 1844 she commented to a friend Woronzow
|
|
|
+ Greig about her desire to create a mathematical model for how the brain gives rise to thoughts and nerves to

|
|
+ achieved this, however. In part, her interest in the brain came from a long-running pre-occupation, inherited from

|
|

|
|
|
+ Babbage was impressed by Lovelace's intellect and analytic skills. He called her "The Enchantress of Number".<a

|
|
|

|
|
|
+<blockquote>

|

|
+<p>During a nine-month period in 1842–43, Lovelace translated the Italian mathematician <a

|
|
|

|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWoolley1999265-63">[61]</a> Lovelace's notes
|
|
|
+ even had to explain how the Analytical Engine differed from the original Difference Engine.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWoolley1999267-64">[62]</a> Her work was well

|
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-68">[66]</a> Based on this work, Lovelace is now
|

+ widely considered to be the first computer programmer<a
|
|
|

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p><i>Note G</i> also contains Lovelace's dismissal of <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence">artificial intelligence</a>. She wrote that "The
|
|
|
+ Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to <i>originate</i> anything. It can do <i>whatever we know how to
|
|
|
+ order it</i> to perform. It can follow analysis; but it has no power of anticipating any analytical relations or
|
|
|
+ truths." This objection has been the subject of much debate and rebuttal, for example by <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing">Alan Turing</a> in his paper "<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing_Machinery_and_Intelligence">Computing Machinery and
|
|
|
+ Intelligence</a>".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-70">[68]</a></p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Lovelace and Babbage had a minor falling out when the papers were published, when he tried to leave his own statement
|
|
|
+ (criticising the government's treatment of his Engine) as an unsigned preface, which could have been mistakenly
|
|
|
+ interpreted as a joint declaration. When <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Taylor_(editor)">Taylor</a>'s <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_Memoirs"><i>Scientific Memoirs</i></a> ruled that the statement
|
|
|
+ should be signed, Babbage wrote to Lovelace asking her to withdraw the paper. This was the first that she knew he
|
|
|
+ was leaving it unsigned, and she wrote back refusing to withdraw the paper. The historian <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Woolley">Benjamin Woolley</a> theorised that: "His actions
|
|
|
+ suggested he had so enthusiastically sought Ada's involvement, and so happily indulged her ... because of her
|
|
|
+ 'celebrated name'."<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWoolley1999277%E2%80%9380-71">[69]</a> Their
|
|
|
+ friendship recovered, and they continued to correspond. On 12 August 1851, when she was dying of cancer, Lovelace
|
|
|
+ wrote to him asking him to be her executor, though this letter did not give him the necessary legal authority. Part
|
|
|
+ of the terrace at Worthy Manor was known as <i>Philosopher's Walk</i>, as it was there that Lovelace and Babbage
|
|
|
+ were reputed to have walked while discussing mathematical principles.<a

|
|
+<p>In 1840, Babbage was invited to give a seminar at the <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Turin">University of Turin</a> about his Analytical Engine. <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Menabrea">Luigi Menabrea</a>, a young Italian engineer and the future
|
|
|
+ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_Italy">Prime Minister of Italy</a>, transcribed Babbage's
|
|
|
+ lecture into French, and this transcript was subsequently published in the <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblioth%C3%A8que_universelle_de_Gen%C3%A8ve">Bibliothèque universelle de
|
|
|
+ Genève</a> in October 1842. Babbage's friend <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Wheatstone">Charles
|
|
|
+ Wheatstone</a> commissioned Ada Lovelace to translate Menabrea's paper into English. She then augmented the
|
|
|
+ paper with notes, which were added to the translation. Ada Lovelace spent the better part of a year doing this,
|
|
|
+ assisted with input from Babbage. These notes, which are more extensive than Menabrea's paper, were then published
|
|
|
+ in the September 1843 edition of Taylor's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_Memoirs"><i>Scientific

|

|

+<p>Ada Lovelace's notes were labelled alphabetically from A to G. In note G, she describes an <a

|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm">algorithm</a> for the Analytical Engine to compute <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_number">Bernoulli numbers</a>. It is considered to be the first
|
|
|
+ published algorithm ever specifically tailored for implementation on a computer, and Ada Lovelace has often been
|
|
|
+ cited as the first computer programmer for this reason.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-73">[71]</a><a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-74">[72]</a> The engine was never completed so her

|
|
|

|
|
|
+<p>In 1953, more than a century after her death, Ada Lovelace's notes on Babbage's Analytical Engine were republished as
|
|
|
+ an appendix to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.V._Bowden">B.V. Bowden</a>'s <i>Faster than Thought: A
|
|
|
+ Symposium on Digital Computing Machines</i>.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-76">[74]</a> The engine has now been recognised as an

+ early model for a computer and her notes as a description of a computer and software.<a

|
|
+<h3><strong>Insight into potential of computing devices</strong></h3>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>In her notes, Lovelace emphasised the difference between the Analytical Engine and previous calculating machines,
|
|
|
+ particularly its ability to be programmed to solve problems of any complexity.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEToole1998175%E2%80%9382-77">[75]</a> She
|
|
|
+ realised the potential of the device extended far beyond mere number crunching. In her notes, she wrote:</p>
|
|
|
+<blockquote>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>[The Analytical Engine] might act upon other things besides <i>number</i>, were objects found whose mutual
|
|
|
+ fundamental relations could be expressed by those of the abstract science of operations, and which should be
|
|
|
+ also susceptible of adaptations to the action of the operating notation and mechanism of the engine...Supposing,
|
|
|
+ for instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds in the science of harmony and of musical
|
|
|
+ composition were susceptible of such expression and adaptations, the engine might compose elaborate and
|
|
|
+ scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent.<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-78">[76]</a><a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-79">[77]</a></p>
|
|
|
+</blockquote>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>This analysis was an important development from previous ideas about the capabilities of computing devices and
|
|
|
+ anticipated the implications of modern computing one hundred years before they were realised. <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Isaacson">Walter Isaacson</a> ascribes Lovelace's insight regarding
|
|
|
+ the application of computing to <i>any</i> process based on logical symbols to an observation about textiles: "When
|
|
|
+ she saw some mechanical looms that used <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_cards">punchcards</a> to
|
|
|
+ direct the weaving of beautiful <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern">patterns</a>, it reminded her of how
|
|
|
+ Babbage's engine used punched cards to make calculations."<a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-Isaacson-80">[78]</a> This insight is seen as
|
|
|
+ significant by writers such as Betty Toole and Benjamin Woolley, as well as the programmer <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Graham-Cumming">John Graham-Cumming</a>, whose project Plan 28 has the
|
|
|
+ aim of constructing the first complete Analytical Engine.<a

|

|
|
|
+<p>According to the historian of computing and Babbage specialist <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doron_Swade">Doron Swade</a>:</p>
|
|
|
+<blockquote>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>Ada saw something that Babbage in some sense failed to see. In Babbage's world his engines were bound by
|
|
|
+ number...What Lovelace saw—what Ada Byron saw—was that number could represent entities other than quantity. So
|
|
|
+ once you had a machine for manipulating numbers, if those numbers represented other things, letters, musical
|
|
|
+ notes, then the machine could manipulate symbols of which number was one instance, according to rules. It is
|
|
|
+ this fundamental transition from a machine which is a number cruncher to a machine for manipulating symbols
|
|
|
+ according to rules that is the fundamental transition from calculation to computation—to general-purpose
|
|
|
+ computation—and looking back from the present high ground of modern computing, if we are looking and sifting
|
|
|
+ history for that transition, then that transition was made explicitly by Ada in that 1843 paper.<a

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Though Lovelace is referred to as the first computer programmer, some biographers, computer scientists and historians
|
|
|
+ of computing claim otherwise.</p>

|
+<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Bromley_(historian)">Allan G. Bromley</a>, in the 1990 article

|
|
|
+<blockquote>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <p>All but one of the programs cited in her notes had been prepared by Babbage from three to seven years earlier.
|
|
|
+ The exception was prepared by Babbage for her, although she did detect a 'bug' in it. Not only is there no
|
|
|
+ evidence that Ada ever prepared a program for the Analytical Engine, but her correspondence with Babbage shows
|
|
|
+ that she did not have the knowledge to do so.<a
|
|
|

|
|
|
+</blockquote>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Bruce Collier, who later wrote a biography of Babbage, wrote in his 1970 <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_University">Harvard University</a> PhD thesis that Lovelace "made a

|
|

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Eugene Eric Kim and Betty Alexandra Toole consider it "incorrect" to regard Lovelace as the first computer
|
|
|
+ programmer, as Babbage wrote the initial programs for his Analytical Engine, although the majority were never
|
|
|
+ published.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKimToole199976-86">[84]</a> Bromley
|
|
|
+ notes several dozen sample programs prepared by Babbage between 1837 and 1840, all substantially predating

|
|
+ Lovelace's notes.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#cite_note-87">[85]</a> <a
|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_K._Stein">Dorothy K. Stein</a> regards Lovelace's notes as "more a

|
|
|

|
|
|
+<p>In his book, <i>Idea Makers</i>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Wolfram">Stephen Wolfram</a> defends
|
|
|
+ Lovelace's contributions. While acknowledging that Babbage wrote several unpublished algorithms for the Analytical
|
|
|
+ Engine prior to Lovelace's notes, Wolfram argues that "there's nothing as sophisticated—or as clean—as Ada's
|
|
|
+ computation of the Bernoulli numbers. Babbage certainly helped and commented on Ada's work, but she was definitely
|
|
|
+ the driver of it." Wolfram then suggests that Lovelace's main achievement was to distill from Babbage's
|
|
|
+ correspondence "a clear exposition of the abstract operation of the machine—something which Babbage never did."[<a

|
|
|
+ href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computing">history of computing</a> known for his work on
|
|
|
+ Babbage, analysed four claims about Lovelace during a lecture on Babbage's analytical engine:</p>
|
|
|
+<ol>
|
|
|
+ <li>She was a mathematical genius</li>
|
|
|
+ <li>She made an influential contribution to the analytical engine</li>
|
|
|
+ <li>She was the first computer programmer</li>
|
|
|
+ <li>She was a prophet of the computer age</li>
|
|
|
+</ol>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>According to him, only the fourth claim had "any substance at all". He explained that Ada was only a "promising
|
|
|
+ beginner" instead of genius in mathematics, that she began studying basic concepts of mathematics five years after
|
|
|
+ Babbage conceived the analytical engine so she could not have made important contributions to it, and that she only
|
|
|
+ published the first computer program instead of actually writing it. But he agrees that Ada was the only person to
|
|
|
+ see the potential of the analytical engine as a machine capable of expressing entities other than quantities.<a
