|

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.
