Abstract

purpose computer, the analytical engine, designed but never built by Charles Babbage. Professor Martin showed how Lovelace’s paper presented the analytical engine as an abstract machine. Also drawing on correspondence between Lovelace and Babbage she described how Lovelace’s speculations on the capabilities and potential of the machine mirror the concerns of modern computer scientists. We also heard what a remarkable person Lovelace was, not only in her background but in her efforts to learn, mathematics in particular, and her ambitions. Drawing on original sources and evaluating secondary material we were presented with a fresh and stimulating evaluation of Lovelace who was born in 1815, dying at age 36. We were all invited to visit the Ada Lovelace mathematical archive to help assess for ourselves this remarkable person. This archive draws on recent archival research and will be released online at www.claymath.org in December 2015. All the lectures were not only informative and stimulating but very enjoyable. If you were unable to be there or simply wish to relive the experience the lectures are available online at: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/women-in-mathematics-the-bicentenary-of-adalovelace Raymond Flood http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17498430.2016.1215857

目的计算机，分析机，由查尔斯·巴贝奇设计，但从未建造。马丁教授展示了洛夫莱斯的论文是如何将分析机作为一种抽象的机器呈现出来的。她还引用了洛夫莱斯和巴贝奇之间的通信，描述了洛夫莱斯对机器的能力和潜力的推测如何反映了现代计算机科学家的担忧。我们还听说了洛夫莱斯是一个多么了不起的人，不仅在她的背景方面，而且在她学习的努力方面，特别是在数学方面，以及她的抱负方面。根据原始资料和对二手资料的评估，我们对生于1815年，死于36岁的洛夫莱斯进行了新鲜而令人振奋的评价。我们都被邀请去参观艾达·洛夫莱斯的数学档案来帮助我们自己评估这位杰出的人。该档案借鉴了最近的档案研究，将于2015年12月在www.claymath.org网站上发布。所有的讲座不仅内容丰富，刺激，而且非常愉快。如果你不能去那里或只是想重温这段经历，这些讲座可以在网上找到:http://www.gresham.ac.uk/women-in-mathematics-the-bicentenary-of-adalovelace Raymond Flood http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17498430.2016.1215857
