"The Analytical Machine has no pretensions to originate anything. It can do anything if we know how to instruct that thing. The machine can continue the analysis, but not able to anticipate any relationship or analytic truth. The machine is helping to make available what we already know. Is calculated to do this is primarily and above all, of course, through his executive powers, but may exert anindirect influence on science itself otherwise. because, by distributing and combining the truths and formulas analysis so that they are as easy and readily available to machine mechanical combinations, relationships and the nature of various subjects in that science, necessarily receive a new light, and investigated more deeply. “ Said Ada Byron.
The womwn who designed the first computerprogram:
Augusta Ada Byron was daughter of the recognized poet lord Byron and of Annabelle Milbanke Byron. Ada was born on December, 10 of 1815, in UK, London. Her parents separated shortly after birth of the girl and the girl's custody obtained her mother. To prevent your child imitate the way of his father, Lady Byron was responsible for tipping his daughter's interests towards science andmathematics.
The girl, who had a privileged intellectual capacity, responded wonderful to stimulation and in fact was a self-taught in geometry, which he mastered with great ease, as happened with astronomy and mathematics. However, either by nature or by a desire to get closer to his father, Ada could not deny the allure of poetry and music. In numbers and formulas that surrounded his life inresearch and study, Ada always found the poetic side, and perhaps for this reason that his views and ideas were different and were enriched with a great imagination.
At seventeen, the girl of marked intelligence and boundless fantasy contacted Mary Somerville, the translator of the work of Simone astronomer Laplace. Somerville encouraged Ada and supported in their scientific studies, yet at the sametime, their theoretical positions opposing the fertile creativity of Ada and were more planted in the ground.
Despite the differences, Ada much frequented to Somerville; and was in a dinner at her home, 1843, that she first heard of Charles Babbage their ideas about the possibility of a calculating machine called the Analytical Machine. Years earlier, in 1835, Ada had married William Kin, eighthman of King, and in 1838 was awarded with the title of Countess of Lovelace. He had three children. But none of this was an obstacle to the girl, whose passion for science and technology was boundless.
Thanks to their sensitivity and perceptual intelligence, Ada was deeply attracted by this idea, which not sparked uproar in this time. Once fascinated for the studies by Babbage, Ada gotten down totranslate this work into English, based on an article by the Italian mathematician L. F. Menabrea. From there, they began a long relationship between the young fellow and inventor, and she decides to add your notes to the translation, of course with the permission of Babbage. The engine that Babbage had envisioned and which he finally ended thanks to the contributions of Ada, is the ancestor ofour computers.
Her notes did a thorough analysis of the invention and allowed the developed of the invention . The analytical engine calculated any algebraic function and stored numbers. The program that allowed its operation was not saved in the machine as it happens today, but was introduced into the machine by means of cards. In its first publication- the translation work of Babbage- theCountess of Lovelance makes the prediction that such a machine could eventually compose music, produce graphics, and that could eventually be used both in science and in the daily life. He spoke of today's computers.
With friends of very high prestige, as Sir David Brewster, inventor of the kaleidoscope and the writer Charles Dickens, Ada fed his thirst for knowledge. His interests focused not only...
