In the time of Charles Babbage , there weren’t a strong knowledge about the relation between the computer hardware architecture and computer science. The computer science was only considered as a child of mathematics and the women were not encouraged to do the researchers .
Ada Lovelace Byron (countess of Lovelace), daughter of a brief marriage between the romantic poet Lord Byron and Anne Isabelle Milbanke, spent her time with her mother pursuing botany, geology, astronomy. Since she was young, she studied mathematics and music and when she was twelve years old, she designed a mathematical model of a flying machine (she wrote a book titled Flylogy). In fact she always dreamed to fly. In the 1833, when she was seventeen years old, she met Charles Babbage and she kept in contact with him by a long mail correspondence on the topics of mathematics and logic. In 1834 Babbage made a plan for a new kind of mechanical calculating machine (the analytical engine) and in 1842 he attended a conference about the machine in Italy under Alberto di Savoia’s kingdom. Ada was the main translator (from French to English) of this conference and the Babbage’s collaborator in the analytical engine project. She discovered the analytical engine could calculate some figures of the Bernoulli number , if it was well programmed. She was the first programmer in the computer science history and the first female pioneer of the computer science in a male chauvinist society. Every October 15 in US is celebrated the Ada Lovelace day. This day remembers the work of the women in the field of Information Technology. The ADA programming language took the name from Ada Lovelace Byron and it’s the standard programming language used in the aerospace industry.
