Question

why is ada Lovelace called mother of computer

Answer 1

Ada Lovelace, She was the mother of Computer. When she was a teenager, her mathematical talents led her to a long working relationship and friendship with fellow British mathematician Charles Babbage, also known as "the father of computers", and in particular, Babbage's work on the Analytical Engine.

Answer 2

It’s impossible to make an reasonable estimate of the relative importance of Lovelace’ contribution to the develop the Analytic Engine. the reasons are both logistic and social. In the correspondence between we only have half of the materials: many of her letters to him survive, but most of her side is lost. This is especially important because she tended to write in baby talk. Her side of the technical materials were lost.

The social gap between the two is incomprehensible to us. She was the only (legitimate) offspring of the greatest of the literary god of the early romantics, Lord Byron. Loveless’s family was certainly respectable, but Byron was a god (think John Lennon) who loved sex on all of its varieties and was indeed ‘mad, bad and dangerous to know’. He was the age’s greatest writer. He needed money badly, because he was rich with resources he couldn’t sell. She was a much younger girl, seemingly at least half crazy, and with an estate which seemed infinite in comparison that she would bring to the table/bed. (In an academic paper there would now be a long a long discussion about women’s financial position, emphasizing how dowereys worked, the nature of entailment and what “pin money” was).

In the society of the mid-19th century, rich women had no place outside of household management. Such matters as investments were none of her business (literally) and as well demanded of the strengths and fortitude only men were thought to possess. The thought of a woman of Lovelace’s status was directly comparable to the idea of such a person plowing a field. While Ada could secure the best of tutors in mathematics at the drop of handkerchief (de Morgan for example) the different in social levels was so great that no relationship of equality could be contemplated. It is very hard to understand what de Morgan was saying in his letters to Ada’, BOW mother.

Ada was always a sickly girl, in bed during her childhood for years at a time. Her illnesses were usually attributed to over-strenuous work on math problems, and she was certainly thought of as ‘mental’ at least in part. Both Babbage and Lovelace had to hide their relationship as one of ignorant young lady toying with mathematics as an unusual alternative to weaving and other needlework. Babbage, as always, despiritely needed (more, and more, and more) money.

The primary contribution Ada made to the project (that we can access) take the form of a long series of footnotes to the translation of the paper on the analytical engine by Luigi Menabrea. The footnotes are longer than the document, and feel ‘feminine’ rather than otherwise. They are, feminine or not, wonderful to read and astounding to contemplate
