	Ada Lovelace: Founder of Scientific Computing
		Lady Byron wished her daughter to be unlike her poetical father, and she saw to it that Ada received tutoring in mathematics and music, as disciplines to counter dangerous poetic tendencies.
		Lady Byron and Ada moved in an elite London society, one in which gentlemen not members of the clergy or occupied with politics or the affairs of a regiment were quite likely to spend their time and fortunes pursuing botany, geology, or astronomy.
		Ada died of cancer in 1852, at the age of 37, and was buried beside the father she never knew.

	Ada Essay
		Ada's chief sin, and why she's so undeserving of the title apparently, is not that she failed to demonstrate a high level of math skill, but that she seemed to think herself some kind of genius -- this is what's so irritating (to her mother certainly).
		Ada got out on stage and played the attractive young daughter of a romantic poet (which she was), imbued with dawning comprehension of times ahead (which she had).
		Ada, though, seems to have had a largely benign influence, and those who worship in her temple don't seem especially prone to violence or mayhem -- given the number of personality cults which are, that's another point in her favor.

		Ada Byron, Lady Lovelace aspired to be "an Analyst (and Metaphysician)", a title she presciently invented for herself at a time when the notion of "professional scientist" had not even taken full form.
		A complex intellect, Ada was the daughter of the romantic poet Lord Byron -- who separated from her mother only weeks after Ada's birth, and never met his daughter Ada -- and Annabella (Lady Byron), who was herself educated as both a mathematician and a poet.
		Ada's portrait is overlaid with a notation from the Notes she wrote in"Sketch of the Analytical Engine", which anticipates the modern-day general purpose computer and modern computer programming.

	Ada Byron Lovelace Articles
		Ada was raised in a single mother household where her early and persistent interest in things mechanical and mathematical was systematically encouraged but not at the expense of her abiding interest in the poetical, musical, or imaginative.
		Ada Byron's viewing of the prototype of Babbage's Difference Engine #1 in 1833 happened to come at the start of two remarkable years of development of the concept of the Analytical Engine.
		That Lovelace brimmed over with vision as to where the engine could clearly move beyond mere calculation to become a genuinely universal machine in the modern sense is clear from perusing literally every rapidly scrawled page of the manuscript sources.

		Ada translated the text, but also added diagrams and elaborated on how the Analytic Engine could be programmed to solve a wide variety of algebraic problems.
		Lovelace was able to show that if each punch card was responsible for one operation, +, -, x, ÷, and two numbers or variables, then any calculation could be programmed.

	Ada Lovelace
		The entire issue is eclipsed by the fact that Ada Lovelace was a very good mathematician and further intelligent enough to understand the potential of Charles Babbage’s ideas at the first demonstration of the Difference Engine, where she met Charles Babbage and spoke to him at length about the Engine.
		Ada then translated these notes from French to English and added an addendum to the notes, including footnotes and other explanations, which ended up being twice to three times the length of the original paper (depending upon which source you look at for this information).
		Ada Lovelace, as many of the mathematicians who dealt with computation did then, chose to speak her mind on the subject of artificial intelligence.

		Ada Byron met Babbage when she was 17 years old, and had already been forced to commit her life to what she called "poetical science." She was the only legitimate daughter of the great Scottish poet, Lord Byron.
		As an adult, Lady Ada weaned herself from an opium addiction, but not one to gambling, with which she quietly and secretly bankrupted her husband, the Count of Lovelace.
		Lady Ada should probably be given credit for the scheme: Babbage's vision for his computing machines was limited to mathematics, while she prophesized that it would be used for everything from writing music to drawing.
