1. ADA LOVELACE
BY:Olshanska natalia

2. Early Life Facts Born:London, England Died:27 November 1852 (aged 36)
Marylebone, London, England
Daughter of: Romantic
Poet Lord Byron and his
wife, Lady Byron
Recognized as an:
Analyst. Metaphysician,
And Founder of Scientific
Computing.

3. Early Life A month after Ada was born. Lady Byron left Lord Byron.
Shortly thereafter , Lord Byron
left England forever. Consequently
Ada never met her father.
Lady Byron was determined
to raise Ada to be the expect
opposite of her father who was a hopeless
romantic. Therefore, saw to it that Ada
was schooled in Mathematics, and music,
as «disiples to counter dangerous poetic tendencies»

4. Early Life continued Contrary to the effors of Lady Byron to stunt any
characteristics she may have
inherited from her father; Ada
began to flourish in all subjects
and became very imaginative.
It was this imagination that let
her to produce a design for flying
machine. «It was mathematics that gave her life it’s wings»

5. From byron to lovelace In July 1835 aged 21, she married William King
(10 years her senior).
In 1838 King inharited
a noble title and became
known as the Earl of Lovelace.
Ada Byron King adoped the
title as well, and became the
countess of Lovelace. This noble
title is how we recognize her today
as : Ada Lovelace.

6. The beginning of ada & babbage
Ada first met Charles Babbage
shortly after her right royal
coming out party. She went,
along with her mother, to see
what she called his “thinking machine”
a portion of his difference engine on
display in his drawing room.
Babbage was the professor of
mathematics at Cambridge, and «both
he and Ada, began a voluminous
correspondence on the topics of
Mathematics, logic, and ultimately
All subjects»

7. Friends gambling and math
In her later years, Ada
became an avid gambler,
and caused her family great
financial grief.
At one point, Ada and Babbage
Tried to calculate a surefire way
To win the horse races indefinitely.

8. The analytical engine
Unlike the difference Engine which could only calculate, the Analytical Engine could process and store information as well as print out results. Basically, it was a computer. Ada joined Babbage and using her wealth and social standing became the spokesperson for the engine. The Analytical Engine gathered the attention of many individuals across the continent, one of which was a gentelman named L.F. Menabrea.

9. ABOVE & BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY
As Ada was not only a young married woman, but also a
countess, writing and offering her personal opinion on
scholarly issues was not considered apart of her duties.
Regardless, Ada took on the challenge, and by the time
she was done, her notes surpassed the length of
Manabrea`s paper entirely. She included a descriptive of,
«step wise sequence of operations for solving certain
mathematical problems.»
Writers credit this as being the FIRST published
computer program, and this is why we remember her for
her efforts today.

10. Ada Lovelace. Bernoulli Number Proof
It may not look like much, but
the first computer program
were instructions Ada gave on
using the machine to solve the
Bernoulli numbers.
this moment can describe us
time, when Ada was in process
of doing the first program in
the world.

11. The Enchantress of Numbers
Ada called herself «an Analyst(&
Metaphysician),» and the combination
was put to use in the notes. She
understood the plans for the Analytical
Engine as well as Babbage but was
better at articulating it`s promise. She
Rightly saw it as what we could call
A general-purpose computer. It was
Suited for “developing and tabulating
any function whatever… the engine
The material expression of any indefinite
Function of any degree of generelity and
Complexity.”

12. An interrupted dream
The only part of the Analytical Machine that became a reality was the «mill» which Babbage`s son built and used to calculate, «up to 44 multiples of pi to 29 figures.»
Sadly, Lovelace`s health deteriorated shortly after completing Babbage`s notes on the Engine. She died in 1852 at the age of 36, and the engine was never built in neither her, nor Babbage`s lifetime.
«Today, Ada Byron receives the recognition she deserves. The Department of Defense honored her name by naming a 1979 programming language ADA»

13. Ada and modern time
Babbage and Lovelace never got to see their invention outside of paper and pen. It wasn`t until the 1940`s that their vision became a reality.
As mentioned in the previous slide, in 1979, the US Department of Defense, «decided to create a standardized computer language to use for it`s applications, they named it ADA in Lovelace`s honour.»
To this day, we still use ADA: air traffic control, planes like the Boeing 77, Subways in NY, as well as in space missions.
