Ada Lovelace
Prompt: Today is Ada Lovelace Day. Lyn asked what we know about her. Why is being honored?
Ada Lovelace was raised by her mother and Lord Bryon was her father. She was a famous Mathematician. She almost eloped with her tutor. She is given credit for the start of computers because of lettering systems, math and keeping well organized documents. I guess they were like computer word sheets. She was also credit for calculating machines. If I had known about her in school, I wouldn't have liked her. I hate Math. Math was a struggle for me. She studied in Italy if I read that right. Was she responsible for Italian Math? You made a pyramid puzzle and put a multiplication problem in a box and the answer. If you made the box wrong, the problem was wrong and the numbers didn't fit. It was stupid! What was wrong with regular multiplication problems and forget the idiot box drawing! Now, that I am older, I appreciate women who became famous years ago. It was a struggle for them. Ada was married but she liked other men and had affairs with them. She was always sick as a child with headaches but she was well educated and didn't let her illness stop her from learning. She was a Math Wiz. She died at the age of 36. Today, we remember her.
