ACHIEVEMENTS

Her greatest achievements was to be the first woman to create a computer program.

HER WORK:

She was an English mathematician and writer, primarily known for her work on the general-purpose mechanical computer proposed by Charles Babbage, the analytical engine. She was the first to recognize that the machine had applications beyond pure calculation, and published the first algorithm intended to be carried out by said machine. As a result, it is sometimes considered the first time that the potential of a "computer machine" and the first computer programmer is recognized.

BIOGRAPHY:

Ada Lovelace was the only legitimate daughter of the poet Lord Byron, and his wife Anne Isabella Milbanke ("Annabella"), Lady Wentworth. . Byron separated from his wife a month after he was born and left England forever four months later. . He died of illness in the War of Independence when Ada was eight years old. Her mother remained bitter and promoted Ada's interest in mathematics and logic in an effort to prevent her from developing her father's perceived madness. Despite this, Ada remained interested in Byron and was, after her eventual death, buried with him at his request. She was often sick in her childhood. Ada married William King in 1835. The king was named Earl of Lovelace in 1838, and Ada in turn became countess of Lovelace.

THE MOST IMPORTANT:

In 1841, Ada writes to Babbage a letter making it clear that she is interested in collaborating with him. Babbage liked the idea, so she started translating the article by the Italian scientist, Luigi Federico Menabrea. She adds a series of explanatory notes that become one of the most important documents in the history of computing.

SCIENCE OF OPERATIONS:

Ada aspired to create computer science, which she called the science of operations, she realized the practical applications of the analytical machine and even glimpsed the possibility of digitizing music with CDs and synthesizers. Wrote in the Notes:

"Let us suppose, for example, that the fundamental relations between sounds, in the art of harmony, were susceptible to such expressions and adaptations: the machine could compose musical pieces as long and complex as one would like."

THE JACQUARD LOOM:

Ada had a clear idea: the analytical machine and the Jacquard loom come to do the same. A key phrase where this is expressed is:

"It can be said that the first weaves algebraic drawings, in the same way that the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves".

THE THREE FUNCTIONS
Ada clearly expresses the three functions that Babbage's invention could fulfill: process mathematical formulas expressed with symbols, make numerical calculations (its primary objective) and give algebraic results in literal notation.

HER IDEA

She was the first to intuit what Babbage's invention meant for technological progress. I have understood that the technology used in the Jacquard loom and in the analytical machine could be applied to any process involving data processing: in this way it opened the way to a new science, that of the digitalization of information.

ADA

In 1979 the United States Department of Defense developed a programming language that he called ADA in his honor
