She never met her father, because he left England forever four months after they separated. He then died in Greece in 1823. Ada’s life was struggle between emotion and reason, poetics and mathematics, and her health. Lady Bryon had Ada receive tutoring in mathematics and music so that she would not follow her father’s footsteps of being a poet. With the love of mathematics, in 1828 Ada produced a design for a flying machine. Ada and her mom moved to an elite London society, where the men were very smart and studied botany, geology, …show more content…
They meet in 1833, when she was 17 and they talked about mathematics, logic, and all subjects. Ada married William King in 1835. The King then inherited a noble title in 1838 so they became the Earl and Countess of Lovelace. They had three children, and both loved horses. Ada and her husband socialized with many of the interesting minds of the times, including scientist Michael Faraday and writer Charles Dickens. Charles wanted to make plans for a new calculating machine in 1834 called Analytical Engine, but his sponsors refused to support the second machine until the first on was done. In 1842 an Italian mathematician published a memoir in French on the Analytical Engine. Charles asked Ada to translate it and in a nine-month period in 1842-43 she worked on the article. Ada called herself “an Analyst (and Metaphysician.” She could understand the plans for the new device as well as articulating its promise. She put her own words into the article that described the new device and the article ended up being three times longer then it was originally. We now know it as the general-purpose computer. Her work was published in 1843, in an English science

This information is surprising since she turned out to be a mathematician. Emmy’s mother, Ida Amalie Noether, who was a pianist, encouraged her to take piano lessons. Emmy didn’t enjoy it too well because she had a passion of dance. She spent her time in school studying French and English. Emmy’s mother, Ida Amalie Noether, taught her a lot of basic “woman” skills, like cleaning, cooking, and play the clavier. From 1889 to 1897, Emmy went to Höhere Töchter Schule in Erlangen, Germany. Right at the turn on the 20th century, Emmy took the State of Bavaria exam, which is a test they people took to see if the could become a teacher. She passed the test but she wasn’t allowed to teach because she was a woman and she was a Jew under Hitler's new

Despite her inefficient reign over France, Marie’s time as Queen was not entirely unfruitful. During her reign she was recorded as being immensely charitable towards the destitute. Due to being of Austrian descent, she was subject to discrimination and made a scapegoat for the failings of the France.
After ending a war that had lasted for over a century, the young French hero, Joan of Arc, was tried and executed by the English for heresy when she was only nineteen. Growing up as a peasant in Pucelle, France, she heard voices which she thought to be the voice of God. Later she was told by these voices to fight for the French, and ended up playing a major role in the Hundred Years War between France and England. She led an army to liberate the city of Orleans and won over Patay, which allowed Charles VII to be crowned King of France. Nearing the end of the war, she was captured by the English, tried for heresy, and was burned at the stake when she was nineteen. As a symbol of France, Joan was put on trial by the English who sought revenge

In 1825, she began an experiment on magnetism that lead to a her paper entitled 'The Magnetic Properties of the Violet Rays of the Solar Spectrum'. The paper was presented in front of the Royal Society, where she became the first women to present to the Royal Society. This paper was later disproved however it was a starting point for her career in mathematics and for women in the field. In 1827, she started what would become her most successful study.
Emilie was born into a rich lifestyle in Paris on December 17, 1706 and she was taught things that most women didn’t think of doing. She fought for the rights of women to have the right to talk to men about science and math ideas. Even though she lived in the 1700’s, Emilie was very dedicated to her knowledge of science although she was a famous scientist with many talents with many languages, her true love was math.
Lady Lovibond is probably the ghost ship with the most famous legend of England. According to the story, Captain Simon Peel decided to celebrate his wedding party by performing a cruise ship.
Maria Agnesi, the daughter and the eldest of 23 children of Pietro Agnesi was born in Italy on May 16, 1718, and died in 1799. She was born in a wealthy family so her father could afford the best of tutors for his daughter. Her field of study in mathematics was in Calculus (Riddle, n.d.). She was known as a child prodigy and by the age of nine, she could speak several languages. Higher education was not available for women so at the age of nine, she wrote a book defending women’s rights to be educated with the help of her tutor (Edelman, n.d.). She wanted to join a convent but her father would not let her. Her most famous contribution to mathematics was a book she wrote at the age of 20 called Analytical Institution. This book focused on
Lovelace was born in 1618, his birth place is unknown, but suspected to be either Woolwich, Kent or Holland. He was born into a wealthy family that owned a considerable amount of Kent. His father, Sir William Lovelace, was a wealthy Kentish Knight. He was a soldier and died during the Spain and Holland war in the Siege of Groenlo a few days before the town fell. When his father died, Lovelace was only 9 years old. His mother Anne Barne Lovelace was a prominent merchant and public official from London. He had seven siblings-four brothers and three sisters- and he was the eldest. He attended a Charterhouse school in London at age 11, and later he would then go to Oxford University at age 18 to obtain a master 's degree. During Lovelace’s youth, he was already considered to be an admirable and modest person. Growing up, he became a poet scholar, and since the Kent family prospered from their history of professional soldiers, he was to become a soldier as well. Being a Cavalier poet, Lovelace paved the path for their writings. Cavaliers were a group of English poets who were supporters of Charles I during the English Civil Wars. They way he stands out is with his complexity of view and ability to influence others with his poems (he had 173 works). His poetry was often influenced by his experiences with politics and associated with important figures of his time. He went through wars, periods in jail, and poverty during his later years. Although Lovelace lived short life to
The key period of the evolution of modern electronic computer is in between the late 1930s and the early 1950s. Not all of them were invented by the mathematician or physician. Among those machines were pioneering computers put together by english academics notably Manchester/Ferrenti Mark 1, built at Manchester University by Frederic Williams and Thomas Kilburn. And the EDSAC, Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator built by Maurice Wilkes at Cambridge University.
