Ada Lovelace had a privileged existence but lived in a world where girls were limited in the +subjects they were taught, where young women were excluded from universities and where gender +stereotypes were rigidly enforced. + +The aim of education for young women born into the aristocracy in the 17th and 18th centuries was to +make them as marriageable as possible. Therefore, young women were typically schooled at home, by +governesses or carefully selected tutors, in subjects such as languages, literature, and music. + +Following the separation of her parents shortly after her birth, Ada was raised by her mother in an +environment that ran counter to the conventions of the day. Against tradition, Ada was schooled +rigorously in mathematics and science, on the basis of her mother's belief that this would protect +or insulate her against the madness Annabella believed to possess Ada's father, who she believed +(perhaps correctly) to be a dissolute and depraved individual as well as a romantic literary genius. + +Ada possessed natural talents for language and numeracy but as a young woman of her time, she was +excluded from attending university. Instead she received further education and tutoring from a +variety of individuals, such as Mary Somerville, Augustus de Morgan and, perhaps most notably, the +inventor of the world's first theoretical computer --- the “Analytical Engine --- Charles Babbage. + +Ada Lovelace, as a daughter of the 19th century, was certainly born into privilege and a +conventional “feminine” education would have been her birthright. However, while privileged and +wealthy, Ada's parents did not fit the stereotypes of the era, nor was her life to follow +convention. Ada's mother, Anne Isabella, known as Annabella, was intellectually gifted and had +received, unusually for a young woman of the time, an education that included science and +mathematics. As a consequence of her sharp mind (paired, presumably with her family wealth), +Annabella was a particularly appealing target for the romantic attentions of the poet Byron, who +named her his “Princess of the Parallelograms.” However, this was not a marriage of like minds or +shared values, and whether intended or unintended, a consequence of the union of Annabella and Byron +was the

+ +- Videos 12 & 13 + + - Ada had a more developed abstract understanding of the Analytical + Machine than Babbage possessed due to her work in creating her notes + and translation about the Analytical Engine + + - Due to this more developed abstract understanding, she had ideas of + general/universal computation which are the hallmark of modern day + computers + +- Video 14 + + - Babbage only saw the Analytical Engine as a more efficient way of + producing mathematical tables and just so happened to design a + universal computer + +- Video 15 + + - When writing about the Analytical Engine, Ada was trying to explain + it as clearly as possible + + - To do this she had to look at the machine in a more abstract sense + and this resulted in her seeing the machine as a gateway to + universal computation + +- Video 16 + + - She was seemingly the first recorded person to have ideas of + universal computation in regards to machines + +- Video 17 + + - This is the most important element, the entirety of the modern world + are built on the back of universal computation + +*** Is it possible Ada could have discovered modern computing had her health not failed?
