Ada Lovelace

In 2018, a book by the daughter of Lord Byron was sold at auction for the princely sum of £95,000. You would be forgiven for thinking that it was a previously unheard of volume of prose, or perhaps some unknown poem. Instead, what was sold is universally recognised as the world’s first computer algorithm!

More specifically, it was the first edition of a body of work which contained the equation that is considered to be the world’s first ever computer algorithm. Oh yes, and it was written by none other than Augusta Ada Byron, or as she is better known, Ada Lovelace.

It’s hard to believe that the world’s first computer programmer was the daughter of one of the most poetic (and debauched!) of Englishmen, and yet she absolutely was. Ada Lovelace is recognised as the quintessential ‘Enchantress of Numbers’, and was the woman who developed the first inchoate computer program over 200 years ago.

Ada was born on December 10th 1815, the only legitimate child of Lord Byron and his wife (albeit briefly) Annabella Milbanke. Ada’s mother and father split up just weeks

Ada Lovelace

Ada Lovelace, an English mathematician and writer, is often referred to as “the first programmer” because she helped revolutionize the trajectory of the computer industry. She is considered the first person to recognize that computers had a much larger potential than mathematical calculation. In 1979, a computer language called “Ada,” made on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense, was even named after her.

Ada Lovelace (birth name Augusta Ada Byron) was born in London, England on December 10, 1815 to Anne Milbank and the famous poet, Lord Byron. Her father and mother separated months after she was born. Lord Byron moved to Greece where he died when Ada was eight years old. Ada’s childhood was not a traditional one. She was the daughter of one of the most famous European men, she was constantly ill, and had a sharp mind which she used to analyze language and numbers. Her mother had mathematical training and insisted that Ada, who was tutored privately, study mathematics, an unusual education for a woman during this time period.

da Byron was the daughter of a brief marriage between the Romantic poet Lord Byron and Anne Isabelle Milbanke, who separated from Byron just a month after Ada was born. Four months later, Byron left England forever. Ada never met her father (who died in Greece in 1823) and was raised by her mother, Lady Byron. Her life was an apotheosis of struggle between emotion and reason, subjectivism and objectivism, poetics and mathematics, ill health and bursts of energy.

Lady Byron wished her daughter to be unlike her poetical father, and she saw to it that Ada received tutoring in mathematics and music, as disciplines to counter dangerous poetic tendencies. But Ada's complex inheritance became apparent as early as 1828, when she produced the design for a flying machine. It was mathematics that gave her life its wings.

Lady Byron and Ada moved in an elite London society, one in which gentlemen not members of the clergy or occupied with politics or the affairs of a regiment were quite likely to spend their time and fortunes
