​​ Meeting With Mathematician
(Episode :- 3)

Augusta Ada Byron(Ada lovelace ) :- She was an English mathematician who wrote an algorithm for a computing machine in the mid-1800s. She has been called “the first computer programmer.”

Ada Lovelace’s family dynamic was complicated . Her parents got separated after her birth and left England forever .Her mother insisted on having tutors teach Lovelace mathematics and science which was unusual for an aristocratic girl in the mid-1800’s as she believed that rigorous studies would prevent Lovelace from developing her fathers temperament.

Famous work:-
Ada Lovelace was always interested in scientific developments and facts.
In 1833, Lovelace was introduced to Charles Babbage through their mutual friend Mary Somerville. Later that month, Babbage showed Lovelace his prototype for his Difference engine. She was fascinated with the machine, and Babbage was impressed by Lovelace’s intellect and analytical skills. He called her “The Enchantress of Number.”

She translated Luigi Menabrea’s(Italian Engineer) article on Babbage’s Analytical Engine. She published her notes on the Analytical engine, which ended up being 3x longer than the article and more extensive than the article itself. Because of her written work, Lovelace is considered by many the first computer programmer, and her method is called the world’s first computer program.
