Free Downloads Sketch Of The Analytical Engine Invented By Charles Babbage
About the translator / author of notes, Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (1815 – 1852), born Augusta Ada Byron and now commonly known as Ada Lovelace, was an English mathematician and writer chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. Her notes on the engine include what is recognised as the first algorithm intended to be carried out by a machine. Because of this, she is often described as the world's first computer programmer.

Upside:Really upgraded my opinion of Ada Lovelace! She should be ranked as a genius ahead of her time.Downside: Even at this level of technology reading computer machine level instruction manuals is dreadfull; my brains just dozes off leaving my eyes and breathing to maintain the body. That is basically what this is.Summary: But remember that this was written over 150 years ago before the idea of a general purpose computer was anywhere common currency. She was probably one of 3-6 people who really understood what was going on. So I gave it 4 stars: basically for astonishment. Following her instructions one could program a Babbage machine. No "mean" feat.I am glad to have it on my "bookshelf"!Ray
