Politics, history, literature and varied humanity. Old and new pieces from any source. Every Monday a poem. Bourgeois and reactionary pretonzoli and pigtails, and reggicode reggisacchi, my free zoo pimps and lemmings, tremble!
The father of Augusta Ada King, that people called it "mad and bad" for its extravagant attitudes, is best known as Lord Byron, the poet. Ada inherited from him the ease of speech and the zest for life: it was a very nice lady and easy adventures, he had confidence in the 'English elite and who died at the age of 36, the same age at which his father disappeared. And, as for Byron, even the fame of Ada is linked to his writings.
In 1843 he published a series of notes in which he described the Charles Babbage Analytical Engine, the first device for the automatic calculation that has ever been designed. Although the Analytical Engine was not actually built - especially since Babbage was never able to raise sufficient funds - the notes included in Ada a program for them to calculate a series of numbers called Bernoulli (see box on page 94).
This work gave Ada an important place in the field of computer science, but his fascinating life and his lineage - in addition to its role as a pioneer in a field where women have traditionally been underrepresented - they later transformed in a real symbol. In addition to numerous biographies, plays and novels inspired the pen of writers such as Tom Stoppard and Arthur C. Clarke. And if many women have contributed to the progress of computer science, only Ada gave its name to a computer language, widely used in military and aerospace applications.
It is not surprising that the contributions of Ada informatics have been from time to time emphasized or diminished, and the real importance of his work is the subject of controversy among historians my free zoo in the field. Many, for example, falsely claim that Ada was the first computer programmer. (Babbage, not Ada, wrote the first programs for the Analytical Engine, which also remained largely unpublished.) my free zoo Others, however, improperly put in doubt the attribution to Ada program included in the notes, and even the notes themselves. As often happens, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. my free zoo Babbage spoke of Ada as his "interpreter", thus giving the best definition of his work. Certainly he discussed the notes with her and saw the first drafts, but there is no doubt that it was the same Ada author. And if it is true that the work of Babbage was the stimulus and the foundation of the thought of Ada and his writings, the latter threw a new light on the meaning and great potential of the Analytical Engine.
Augusta my free zoo Ada Byron was born December 10, 1815 in London; was the daughter of Lord Byron and mathematics Annabella Milbanke, whom he married my free zoo 11 months ago. At the time of the birth of Ada, the marriage between Byron and Annabella was already in crisis. The rumor, probably by Caroline Lamb, cousin of Annabella, my free zoo Byron had had an affair with his half-sister; This provided the pretext for separation.
Byron left England my free zoo in April 1816 and never saw his daughter. Lady Ada Byron gave to mathematics education and scientist, and perhaps to move it away from his father discouraged his literary ambitions. Ada received an excellent education in mathematics, was followed by Mary Somerville, an eminent scientist best known for translating the work of the French mathematician and physicist Pierre-Simon de Laplace, and the logical my free zoo and mathematical Augustus De Morgan. my free zoo
The mathematical education of Ada was unusual at the time, even for a noble. my free zoo Unlike what happened in continental Europe, in England in the first half of the nineteenth century mathematics was in decline. At the time of his youth in Ada, De Morgan, George Peacock and their colleague and friend Charles' Babbage did their utmost to restore enamel English to mathematics, but the mathematics education my free zoo of young people, my free zoo and especially girls, remained very modest.
Ada later extended these insights. On June 5, 1833, at the age of 17 years, Ada met Babbage at a party, a widower quarantunenne known for his political activism and his extremist ideas no less than for his work in mathematics and economics. A few weeks after that Babbage Ada showed his car to the differences, still unfinished my free zoo She was fascinated my free zoo and for many years followed closely the development of the car, reading a few articles published about it and discussing it with Babbage.
He had designed the machine to the differences as a tool to generate numeric tables, automating the steps "mechanics" of the calculation. While working well, the device had limits calculation: he could only perform addition and subtraction and
