   Extractions: Augusta Ada Byron was born to Anna Isabella Milbanke and George Gordon Noel Byron (1788-1824), the famous poet Lord Byron, on 10 December 1815 in London, England. Lord Byron separated from his wife within months after Ada's birth. He left England in 1816 and never returned. He lived in Switzerland and Italy, and finally died of illness in 1824 at Missolonghi, Greece, where he had gone to fight for Greek independence from Turkey. Ada received mathematical tutoring from Augustus DeMorgan (1806-1871) . Ada's mother had an interest in mathematics and the desire to encourage the rational aspects of Ada's character in opposition to the romantic influences of her father. When she was 18, Ada heard a lecture about the difference engine designed by Charles Babbage (1791-1871) At 19 Ada married William King. Several years later he become the Earl of Lovelace, so she gained the title the Countess of Lovelace. They had two sons and a daughter: Byron Noel (1836), Anne Isabella (1837), and Ralph Gordon (1839). Beginning with a letter dated 18 January 1836 and continuing until her death, Ada wrote a large numbers of letters to Babbage.

   Extractions: Augusta Ada Byron 's father was the famous poet Lord George Gordon Byron and her mother was Anne Isabelle Milbanke. Ada's parents married on 2 January 1815 but separated on 16 January 1816, a month after she was born. On 25 April 1816 Lord Byron went abroad and Ada never saw her father again. Lord Byron never returned to England and died in Greece when Ada was eight years old. Lady Byron was given sole custody of her daughter Ada, who was declared a Ward in Chancery in April 1817, and she tried to do everything possible in bring up her child to ensure that she would not become a poet like her father. Lady Byron had been interested in the study of mathematics herself. Lord Byron, before his marriage, had called his future wife "the Princess of Parallelograms" and had written to her on 18 October 1812 (see for example [3] where the letter is quoted):- I agree with you quite upon Mathematics too - and must be content to admire them at an incomprehensible distance - always adding them to the catalogue of my regrets - I know that two and two make four - and should be glad to prove it too if I could - though I must say if by any sort of process I could convert two and two into five it would give me much greater pleasure.

   Extractions: Augusta Ada Byron was born on 10 December 1815. She was named after Augusta, Byron's half sister, who had been his mistress. After Byron had left for the Continent with a parting shot - 'When shall we three meet again?' - Ada was brought up by her mother. The lines from Childe Harold were very well known:- `Is thy face like thy mother's, my fair child! but with a hope.' and as Byron's daughter Ada acquired the romance that attached to everyone associated with that magnificent poete maudit. In 1833 Ada met Babbage and was fascinated with both him and his Engines. Later Ada became a competent student of mathematics, which was most unusual for a woman at the time. She translated a paper on Babbage's Engines by General Menabrea, later to be prime minister of the newly united Italy. Under Babbage's careful supervision Ada added extensive notes (c.f.

   Extractions: Augusta Ada King, countess of Lovelace, nee Lady Byron, was an English mathematician often credited as the first computer programmer for her writings about Charles Babbage 's Analytical Engine . She was born in 1815, in Middlesex (now part of London) and died in London in 1852. Ada, as she was called, was the daughter of the famous poet, Lord Byron and Annabella Milbanke Byron, who was, herself, an accomplished mathematician. Ada was rigorously trained in the arts and sciences by a succession of tutors, and through self-education. She married William King, 8th Baron King, in 1835 and became countess of Lovelace in 1838 when her husband was made an earl. Ada had met Babbage when she was still in her teens and asked him to serve as her tutor several years later. While translating Luigi Menabrea's Elements of Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine from its original French, the countess contributed so many annotations that the result was three times the length of the original manuscript. In her annotations, Ada described a method by which the Analytical Engine could be made to compute Bernoulli numbers, which is why she's been called the first programmer.

7. Augusta Ada Lovelace
   Augusta Ada Lovelace by Don Miller There can be little doubt that the2nd January 1815 was an important day in the life of Seaham.  
   http://www.seaham.com/heritage/ada.html
   
   Extractions: T here can be little doubt that the 2nd January 1815 was an important day in the life of Seaham. Old Seaham, that is, because the development of the town was almost fourteen years away. It was on this day that a marriage took place, a marriage that would be of significance not just to the participants, but also to many with a sense of history, and even inevitability. There were many who said that this marriage was doomed to failure, not because they knew the bride and groom, but because it did not take place in a church. Yet the church was not much more than 100 yards from the bride’s home, where the marriage took place. I t was on this day that Anna Isabella Milbanke took a husband, George Gordon Noel Byron, Lord Byron, the ceremony taking place in Seaham Hall, not In the old Saxon church of St. Mary. The doom-mongers were right in their predictions as the couple separated only two weeks into their second year together, but only after the marriage was consummated. Their daughter, Augusta Ada Byron was born on 10 December and never knew her father. She was, therefore, moulded very much in her mother’s image. Isabella was renowned for her love of mathematics. A family friend, Benjamin Disraeli, British Prime Minister, described her as ‘The Princess of Parallelograms’. A lthough we know little of Augusta Ada’s childhood it becomes apparent that she inherited her mother’s love of mathematics, as we shall see. In the early years of the nineteenth century it was impossible for a young lady, however intelligent, to take up a place at university. Consequently her studies were initially under her mother’s tutelage, but as she progressed she began corresponding with mathematicians. One of these was Mary Fairfax Somerville, a Scottish mathematician who was quite well know within the scientific fraternity. She encouraged Augusta Ada in her studies and introduced her to other mathematicians and also to William King. They were married in 1835, when she was 19 years old and her husband some eleven years older. Although not an intellectual he encouraged her in her mathematical studies.

    http://www.walrus.com/~gibralto/acorn/germ/Ada.html
    
    Extractions: Died: 1852 Lord George Gordon Byron and Annabella Milbanke Noel were married in 1815. She was the self-proclaimed "Princess of Parallelograms" and he was a popular poet. When his mood swings became too much for her to handle, and the incest with his sister Augusta was suspected and eventually confirmed, Annabella left her husband. The union produced one child, Byron's only legitimate one, Augusta Ada, known as Ada. Byron died in self-exile when Ada was eight. As a young teen, Ada suffered a mysterious illness (possibly of hysterical or psychosomatic origin) and was unable to walk for almost three years. During this time, she pursued her studies with tutors. She excelled at mathematics and became an accomplished musician and linguist. I, poor little Fairy, can only get dull heavy mortals, to wait on me! Ada, in a letter At 17, Ada was introduced to Mary Somerville, a prominent mathematician in England and one of the few successful females in the field. At a dinner party at Mrs. Somerville's, Ada heard of Charles Babbage's ideas for a new calculating engine, which he called the Analytical Engine (a computer). She was riveted by his theories, not only understanding them, but eventually she was able to put them into words better than he could. At 19, Ada married William King (later Lord Lovelace). Her poetic sense was evident in a letter she later wrote to her mother: If you can't give me poetry, can't you give me 'poetical science'? Other similarities to her father also reveal themselves in her letters to Charles Babbage, who became a lifelong friend:

    Extractions: Fascinating facts about Ada Augusta Lovelace inventor of an early computer, the Analytical Engine in 1842. Byron, (Augusta) Ada, Countess of Lovelace (1815-1852), British mathematician. Byron laid some of the early conceptual and technical groundwork for high technology by helping develop an early computer. The daughter of English poet Lord Byron, Ada Byron was born in London. With the help of friends and tutors, she taught herself geometry and later attended classes in astronomy and mathematics. In 1833 she met British mathematician and inventor Charles Babbage. He had invented the Difference Engine, a mechanical device designed to handle complicated mathematical problems. Byron showed her understanding of the concept of a programmed computer in 1842, when she translated from French and annotated a paper by the Italian engineer Luigi F. Menabrea on Babbage's Difference Engine. She also collaborated with Babbage to invent the Analytical Engine, an archetype of the modern digital computer. The technology of their time was not capable of translating their ideas into practical use, but the Analytical Engine had many features of the modern computer. It could read data from a deck of punched cards, store data, and perform arithmetic operations. Components of Byron's work remain in the modern digital electronic computer that receives a set of instructions, then carries out those instructions. Byron's set of instructions was a forerunner of modern programming languages and historians have credited Byron as the first computer programmer.

Augusta Ada Lovelace Im Jahre 1975 ordnete das Pentagon die Entwicklung einer universell einsetzbaren Computersprache an; sie bekam den Namen ADA, zur Erinnerung an die "Computerpionierin" Augusta Ada Lovelace, geborene Byron. Lord George Byron war Vater dreier Töchter aus der Verbindung mit drei verschiedenen Frauen. Ada war sein einziges eheliches Kind mit der mathematisch sehr begabten Annabella Milbanke, die er "my Princess of Parallelogisms" nannte. Die Ehe hielt nur ein knappes Jahr. Nach der Geburt von Ada 1815 schickte Byron seine Frau zu ihren Eltern zurück. Byron verließ damals London wegen eines Inzestverdachts und großer Schulden; er wurde von der englischen Gesellschaft geächtet und floh in die Schweiz, dann nach Italien. Ada blieb bei der Mutter, obwohl im damaligen englischen Recht die Erziehungsgewalt und das Sorgerecht allein in den Händen des Vaters lag. Das Mädchen wurde von seiner intelligenten Mutter in Mathematik, Astronomie, Latein und Musiklehre unterrichtet und erhielt eine sehr streng naturwissenschaftliche Erziehung, möglicherweise als Gegengewicht zum "Romantischen Erbe" des treulosen Vaters, der 1824 in Griechenland an Malaria verstarb.

    Extractions: Ada Byron, Lady Lovelace December 10, 1815 - November 27, 1852 Ada Byron, Lady Lovelace, was one of the most picturesque characters in computer history. Augusta Ada Byron was born December 10, 1815 the daughter of the illustrious poet, Lord Byron. Five weeks after Ada was born Lady Byron asked for a separation from Lord Byron, and was awarded sole custody of Ada who she brought up to be a mathematician and scientist. Lady Byron was terrified that Ada might end up being a poet like her father. Despite Lady Byron's programming Ada did not sublimate her poetical inclinations. She hoped to be "an analyst and a metaphysician". In her 30's she wrote her mother, if you can't give me poetry, can't you give me "poetical science?" Her understanding of mathematics was laced with imagination, and described in metaphors. At the age of 17 Ada was introduced to Mary Somerville , a remarkable woman who translated LaPlace's works into English, and whose texts were used at Cambridge. Though Mrs. Somerville encouraged Ada in her mathematical studies, she also attempted to put mathematics and technology into an appropriate human context. It was at a dinner party at Mrs. Somerville's that Ada heard in November, 1834, Babbage's ideas for a new calculating engine, the Analytical Engine. He conjectured: what if a calculating engine could not only foresee but could act on that foresight. Ada was touched by the "universality of his ideas". Hardly anyone else was.
