Charles Babbage d dot In addition to the Analytical Society, Babbage was also involved in founding the British Association for the Advancement of Science, the Cambridge Philosophical Society, the Royal Astronomical Society and the Statistical Society of London (1834), later the RSS. Economy of Machines and Manufactures Babbage was an inventor, he was involved in various societies, he tried to lay down rules for public behaviour, and he believed himself to be at the apex of cultural development. Because of all this, he has been criticised for being a typical (if very clever) child of the Victorian age. He once wrote to Alfred, Lord Tennyson: "Sir: In your otherwise beautiful poem The Vision of Sin there is a verse which reads: ‘Every moment dies a man / Every moment one is born.’ It must be manifest that, if this were true, the population of the world would be at a standstill…I would suggest you have it read: ‘Every moment dies a man / Every moment one and one sixteenth is born.’ I am, Sir, yours etc, Charles Babbage." So he really was a Statistician! The above account was compiled (often verbatim) by Julian Stander from the following (sometimes contradictory) sources: Boyer, C. B. (1968)

65. Ada Byron Lovelace contribution to mathematics. These lectures were writtenup by a youngItalian military engineer, luigi menabrea. He had them published http://www.sonoma.edu/Math/faculty/falbo/AdaByron.html

Augusta Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace Excerpt from from Math Odyssey 2000 Ada Byron, the only legitimate child of Lord Byron, was born in December of 1815, and one month later her mother in a bitter and celebrated separation, left the "mad and bad" Byron and took Ada with her. Ada was educated at home by governesses and tutors hired by her mother. The Lady Byron strongly believed in mathematics as a discipline of the mind and saw to it that Ada was well grounded in this subject. She felt that it would be a way to provide a stable mental state and a good antidote to the "heedlessness, imprudence, vanity, prevarication and conceit" that Ada was bound to have inherited from her immoral father. One of her tutors was William Frend, a mathematician who didn't believe in negative numbers; another was Augustus DeMorgan, the great English logician. In 1830, when she was 15, Ada met Mary Fairfax Somerville, a well known female mathematician from Scotland. Mary had two daughters the same age as Ada, and the four women, Ada, Mary and her daughters, attended geography lectures at the University of London. (It seems that the mathematician, Charles Babbage, had persuaded the university to allow women to attend lectures in 1830, a privilege which was rescinded within a year). Ada corresponded with Mary Somerville on mathematical topics for the next twenty years, until Ada's death. During her teenage years, Ada was a member of the bluestockings, a group of ladies that visited together, holding conversations, and literary discussions. They often invited learned men to their gatherings, which were meant to replace frivolous social evenings with something more intellectual. They would sometimes visit museums or residences of well known scientists, and it was during one of these visits that Ada actually got to meet Charles Babbage.

66. Byron, Augusta Ada (1815-1852) She became involved with Charles Babbage's Analytical Machine and translated andannotated luigi Federico menabrea's description of it ( Notions sur la machine http://www.xs4all.nl/~androom/biography/p004288.htm

Byron, Augusta Ada nobleman, mathematician england 10 Dec 1815, Middlesex: Piccadilly Terrace (now London) - 27 Nov 1852, London: Marylebone Grave location: Hucknall Torkard, Nottinghamshire: St. Mary Magdalens' Church Daughter of the poet Lord Byron and his wife Annabella Milbanke. Byron left Annabella a month after Ada's birth and she would never see her father again. At seventeen Ada met Mary Somerville, one of the few succesful female mathematicians. Her mother also took an interest in maths and had even been called Princess of Parallelograms by the poet. In 1835 she married William, 8th Lord King, who later became Earl of Lovelace. Therefore Ada was known as Ada Lovelace since 1838. She became involved with Charles Babbage's Analytical Machine and translated and annotated Luigi Federico Menabrea's description of it ("Notions sur la machine analytique de Charles Babbage" (1842), translated as "Elements of Charles Babbage's Analytical Machine"). De annotations took more space than Menabrea's description and an important addition was her analysis of how the analytical machine could be programmed to calculate Bernoulli numbers. This is why she was regarded as the first computer programmer in the twentieth century. After the birth of her third child she suffered a mental collapse and her doctors gave her a prescription for a combination of alcohol and drugs, among them laudanum. She had hallucinations and at one time thought she was communicating with God. She managed to stop using the drugs, but then started to bet on horse races. She used Babbage to bring her money to the bookmakers to hide her gambling habit. Af the time she was dying of cancer she was in debt as well as being blackmailed.

Ada Lovelace, Countess of Controversy Was a Victorian lady, the daughter of poet Lord Byron, really the world's first computer programmer? By Maria Godoy, TechTV News Augusta Ada Byron King, Countess of Lovelace, is something of a giant in the world of technology. The daughter of celebrated poet Lord Byron, Lovelace was a Victorian society hostess, the mother of three, and a mathematician widely credited as being the world's first computer programmer. But an article in the latest issue of the "New Yorker" takes issue with Ada's contributions to computing. Written by journalist Jim Holt, the "New Yorker" piece claims that Ada had very little input in devising the punch-card system of programming for the Analytical Engine, inventor Charles Babbage's proto-computer, an 1840s collaboration that is Ada's strongest claim to fame. Holt attempts to debunk the image of Ada as a prophet of technology, using author Benjamin Woolley's new book, " The Bride of Science: Romance, Reason, and Byron's Daughter " which was recently released in a US hardback edition as the basis for his reassessment of the woman known as the 19th century's "enchantress of numbers." Holt's article argues that Ada, "had a shaky command of elementary algebra," failed to grasp trigonometry, and was at a loss when it came to calculus. According to both Holt and Woolley, Ada was a "hysteria-prone and often opium-addled" compulsive gambler, a "lusty coquette," and an unbalanced eccentric who "got swept up in the craze for mesmerism and phrenology."

69. The Amazing Adding Subtracting Composing Creating Do-Everything Machine: Ada Lov The following year, luigi Federico menabrea, an Italian mathematician, wrotea summary of the presentation and published an article in French. http://www.neh.gov/news/humanities/2003-01/lovelace.html

The Amazing Adding Subtracting Composing Creating Do-Everything Machine Ada Lovelace Envisions Modern Computing by Paulette Campbell Ada Lovelace was a scientist and a countess. Her passion for mathematics was unfettered by the popular view that women had frail brains that could be injured by serious work in mathematics. Her interests ranged from machinery to anatomy, and in 1843 she wrote a visionary text explaining the process now known as computer programming. She came of age during a period of scientific optimism, when anything was believed possible. Ada was only twelve years old when she wrote of her plans to build an airplane: I’ve got a scheme about a steam engine. It is to make a thing in the form of a horse with a steam engine in the inside so contrived as to move an immense pair of wings fixed to the outside of the horse in such a manner as to carry it up into the air when a person sits on its back. I think of writing a book of flyology illustrated with plates if I ever invent a method of flying. Lovelace’s life and contributions to the field of computing are profiled in a new hour-long documentary

70. Cocoavii.html 1840) luigi menabrea, french paper at the Bibliotheque Universelle de Geneve(1842) ÒNotions sur la machine analytique de MC BabbageÓ Translated http://cocoa.dima.unige.it/conference/cocoavii/school/TomasCoCoA1/cocoavii11.htm

Babbage ¥Babbage (first half of XIXth century) spent a personal fortune attempting to build up an analytical engine... From Babbage's notebook, July 1836: ÒThis day I had for the first time a general but very indistinct conception of the possibility of making an engine work out algebraic developments I mean, without any reference to the value of letters. My notion is that as the cards (Ja[c]quards) of the calc. engine direct a series of operations and then recommence with the first, so it might perhaps be possible to cause the same cards to punch other equivalent to any given number of repetitions. But these holes might perhaps be small pieces of formulae previously made by the first cards...Ó Lord Bowden (1953), second printing in ÒFaster than Thought: A Symposium on Digital Computing MachinesÓ, Pitman, Londres. Ò...the analytical engine weaves algebraic patterns just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves...Ó Ò...in enabling mechanism to combine together general symbols in successions of unlimited variety and extent, a uniting link is established between the operations of matter and the abstract mental process of the most abstract branch of mathematical science...Ó ÒThere are many ways in which it may be desired in special cases to distribute and keep separate the numerical values of different parts of an algebraic formula; and the power of effecting such distributions to any extent is essential to the algebraical character of the Analytical EngineÓ

71. Georgia On My Mind By Charles Sheffield In that year an Italian mathematician, luigi Federico menabrea, heardBabbage talk in Turin about the new machine that he was building. http://www.sff.net/people/sheffield/books/georgia/chap1.htm

Georgia On My Mind Chapter One I first tangled with digital computers late in 1958. That may sound like the dark ages, but we considered ourselves infinitely more advanced than our predecessors of a decade earlier, when programming was done mostly by sticking plugs into plug-boards and a card-sequenced programmable calculator was held to be the height of sophistication. Even so, 1958 was still early enough that the argument between analog and digital computers had not yet been settled, decisively, in favor of the digital. And the first computer that I programmed was, by anyone's standards, a brute. It was called DEUCE, which stood for Digital Electronic Universal Computing Engine, and it was, reasonably enough to card players, the next thing after the ACE (for Automatic Computing Engine), developed by the National Physical Laboratory at Teddington. Unlike ACE, DEUCE was a commercial machine; and some idea of its possible shortcomings is provided by one of the designers' comments about ACE itself: "If we had known that it was going to be developed commercially, we would have finished it." DEUCE was big enough to walk inside. The engineers would do that, tapping at suspect vacuum tubes with a screwdriver when the whole beast was proving balky. Which was often. Machine errors were as common a cause of trouble as programming errors; and programming errors were dreadfully frequent, because we were working at a level so close to basic machine logic that it is hard to imagine it today.

Pio V di Roma Ada Byron e i numeri di Bernoulli Seminario, 23 gennaio 2003, Libera Università degli Studi “S.Pio V” di Roma INTRODUZIONE a cura del prof. Antonio Annibali, docente di Metodi Matematici pel’Economia Capita a volte di innamorarsi di un personaggio a causa di un dettaglio della sua biografia. Credo di non sbagliare affermando che una cosa del genere sia successa a Luciano Garofalo con Ada Byron ed immagino anche, conoscendone la passione per la storia delle matematiche, quale possa essere stato quel dettaglio “innamorante”: mi riferisco alla decisione della madre di Ada di destinare la figlia a studi scientifici, e alla matematica in particolare, terrorizzata all’idea che la fanciulla potesse manifestare le medesime inclinazioni poetiche del suo tempestoso genitore, il mitico Lord Byron, che ad appena cinque settimane dalla nascita di Ada, siamo nel 1815, chiederà il divorzio dalla moglie. E in effetti, sotto la guida di due tra i grandi della matematica di quei tempi, ossia di Mary Sommerville, traduttrice della Meccanica Celeste di Laplace, e di Augustus De Morgan, che aveva analizzato le analogie tra logica e algebra e il rapporto tra linguaggio e pensiero, la piccola Ada si applicherà con passione alla matematica, anche se i progetti materni non avranno un successo completo: giovinetta, dichiarerà infatti di aspirare ad una scienza poetica e tutto il suo pensiero analitico sarà intriso di immaginazione e punteggiato di metafore.

Charles Babbage Matematico inglese giustamente considerato il padre dei moderni computer. Inizialmente si interessa di statistica, matematica, fisica, geologia, politica economica, producendo numerosi saggi. Nel 1812, insieme a John Herschel, nipote di Caroline Herschel , fonda a Cambridge presso il Trinity College la "Analitical Society" con lo scopo di conoscere e diffondere nel Regno Unito i progressi realizzati dai matematici dell'Europa continentale. Nel 1832 pubblica "Economy of Machinery and manufactures" una esposizione della realtà tecnologica del momento, attenta ai problemi sociali ed economici. Babbage estende alla ricerca scientifica pura ed applicata la metodologia introdotta dall'economista scozzese Adam Smith (1723-1790), sulla divisione del lavoro . Concepisce, per la costruzione di tavole numeriche, una suddivisione in tre sezioni, tre gruppi di lavoro ognuno con specifiche mansioni. Successivamente per compiere il lavoro della terza di queste sezioni, quella incaricata di operare attraverso addizioni e sottrazioni (l'equivalente della "unità aritmetica" dei computer), inventerà e costruirà la "macchina alle differenziale". Compito della seconda sezione, come Babbage afferma, era quello di " convertire in numeri le formule della prima sezione [che lavora alla ricerca dell'algoritmo]

Five have been selected for this month's column. The Naval Surface Weapons Center at Dahlgren, Virginia, was the primary site of US naval computing, beginning with the 1948 installation of Howard Aiken's Mark II, followed by the Mark III in 1951. The center's next machine, the Naval Ordnance Research Calculator (NORC), was built at the Watson Scientific Computing Laboratory under the direction of Wallace Eckert. Initially, NORC had been scheduled for delivery to the White Oak Naval Facility near Washington, D.C., but the Navy redirected it to the experienced crew at Dahlgren. Physicist Edward Teller had been trying to have it diverted to the Lawrence Livermore Nation-al Laboratory, arguing that the lab's nuclear calculations were more important than Dahlgren's ballistic calculations. The Navy won, and NORC was dedicated at Dahlgren on December 2, 1954. John von Neumann, who had just completed work on the IAS machine, was the keynote speaker. In 1965, Richard L. Wexelblat was the first candidate in a computer science program to complete a dissertation. Many doctoral candidates had performed computer-related work, but Wexelblat's diploma, presented on December 5 by the University of Pennsylvaniathe home of ENIACwas the first to carry the designation "computer science."
