18 16 65438+1016, Anne Isabella left Byron with one-month-old Ada. On April 2 1 day of the same year, Byron signed a resignation agreement and left the UK. Ada has never met her half-sister, Ala Byron. Allah was born to Byron and Claire Clairmont, but she died at the age of 5 in 1822. As for Ada's other relative Elizabeth Mei Duo Leigh (daughter of Augusta Lee), she was photographed with her, and Ada's mother told Ada and Mei Duo about each other's life experiences. Ada lovelace was the first person to write a program in the world. /kloc-At the age of 0/9, Ada married william king (william king was Ada's science tutor, and so was Augustus de Morgan). After marriage, she gave birth to three children. After getting married, Ada is still full of enthusiasm for mathematics. From 1842 to 1843, it took nine months to translate Babbage's memo "Introduction to Analytical Machines", in which many notes were written and the solution of Bernoulli number by computer was explained in detail. Therefore, Ada is widely regarded as the first programmer in the world. Ida lives with her mother. She and her father have many similar talents. Young Miss Byron is very interested in mathematics (her father called her princess parallelogram, that is, princess parallelogram), and mathematics occupies most of her life, even after marriage. The fact that Ada's mother asked her to study mathematics when she was young is always considered to be influenced by her father Byron. Ada's math and science courses were taught by tutors William Frand, William King and Anne: Mary Somerville, and later she was taught by augustus de morgan. Ada is also an active lady in London social circle. This lady was a member of the Blue Sox Association when she was young.
Ada's social life is very rich. The famous novelist Charles Dickens and physicist michael faraday all know her. Her teacher, Mary Somavi, was a famous scientist in19th century. 1833 was introduced to Charles Babbage by this scholar on June 5th. The famous Sir David Brewster, Charles Wheatstone, Charles Dickens and michael faraday all knew her. 1835, Ada married william king (later promoted to the first Earl of lovelace). They always have three children:
Byron (born in1May, 836,1May, February) annabella (born in1September 22nd, 837) Ralph Gordon (born in1July 2nd, 839) lovelace lives in Austria, Surrey. However, since her marriage, her title has been changed to the honorable lovelace (Countess of lovelace), but the simpler ada lovelace and her maiden name Ada Byron are more widely known today. The first programmer in the world
Ada designed a program to solve Bernoulli equation on Babbage analyzer, which proved that Babbage analyzer, a computer madman in the19th century, can be used to solve many problems. She even established the concepts of loops and subroutines. Ada lovelace is called the first programmer in the world because of her pioneering work in programming. At that time, Ada even ignored that she was the mother of three children, and firmly devoted herself to the research of analytical machines and became Babbage's partner. In a paper published in 1843, Ada thought that machines might be used to create complex music, draw pictures and be used in scientific research in the future, which was really a bold foresight at that time. From now on, Ada first worked out an "algorithm" for calculation, and then wrote a "program design flow chart". This precious project is regarded as "the first computer program". Between 1842 and 1843, Ada spent nine months translating the memo left by Italian mathematician Luigi Minabia in Babbage's latest computer design book (Introduction to Analytical Machines). In this translation, she attached a lot of notes and explained in detail the computer operation mode of Bernoulli number, which is considered to be the first computer program in the world; So Ada is also considered as the first programmer in the world. However, biographers also question Ada's originality in computer programs, because some programs were written by Babbage himself. Babbage left the following account in his Life of a Philosopher (1846):
I think she added a lot of notes and some ideas to Minabia's memo. Although all these ideas were discussed by us, the idea finally written in the notes was really her own. I gave her a lot of algebraic operation problems, which are also related to the operation of Bernoulli numbers. In the document she sent back to me, I corrected my previous major mistakes in the program. Ida's article created many new ideas that Babbage never mentioned. For example, Ada once predicted that this machine could be used for typesetting, arranging music or various more complicated purposes in the future. Ada put forward the concept of "algorithm" for computer programs, and established the concepts of loop and subroutine. In a paper in 1843, Ada boldly predicted that computers would be widely used to create music, draw pictures and deal with complex scientific research in the future. The first electronic computer ENIAC was born in the University of Pennsylvania, ahead of schedule 103. One hundred years after her death, 1953, Ada's notes on Charles Babbage's Introduction to Analytical Machines were re-published, which was considered to have a great influence on modern computer and software engineering. Suffering from uterine cancer and gambling debts (some documents also say that she used to take drugs), this tragic figure Ida died young on1852165438+1October 27th, and her life cycle was as short as that of her father Byron, both of whom were only 37 years old. Finally, she was buried with her father in the Byron family cemetery in Hucknell, Nottinghamshire. At the age of 36.
Ironically, she and her father Byron died in the same year, and she bled to death during the treatment.
She left two sons and a daughter-Anne Brandt. According to her last words, Ada was buried in St. Mary Magdalene's Church in Harknoll, Nottingham, next to her father.
