** Notes
Ada Lovelace (1815--1852), the Victorian-era mathematician daughter of the Romantic poet Lord
Byron. 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 arrival of Ada Lovelace.
* Sean's Notes
- Responsible for reasearching =Career & Research=
- Price covered this base maybe a bit too well, it was decided that Price's notes covered this
well enough that it would be redundant for Sean to make his own.
- Sean still contributed, he generated the video content and spent $70 of his own hard earned
money to do so.
