Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 000040429
Forget this world and all its troubles and if possible
its multitudinous Charlatans
everything in short but
the Enchantress of Numbers. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 000192657
The object of the engine is in fact to give the utmost practical efficiency to the resources of numerical interpretations of the higher science of analysis, while it uses the processes and combinations of this latter. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 000192672
We cannot forbear suggesting one practical result which it appears to us must be greatly facilitated by the independent manner in which the engine orders and combines its operations: we allude to the attainment of those combinations into which imaginary quantities enter. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 000215161
The Analytical Engine is an embodying of the science of operations, constructed with peculiar reference to abstract number as the subject of those operations. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 000233770
Thus not only the mental and the material, but the theoretical and the practical in the mathematical world, are brought into more intimate and effective connection with each other. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 000261232
I believe myself to possess a most singular combination of qualities exactly fitted to make me pre-eminently a discoverer of the hidden realities of nature. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 000280775
I find that nothing but very close and intense application to subjects of a scientific nature now seems at all to keep my imagination from running wild, or to stop up the void which seems to be left in my mind from a want of excitement. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 000299726
In abstract mathematics, of course operations alter those particular relations which are involved in the considerations of number and space, and the results of operations are those peculiar results which correspond to the nature of the subjects of operation. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 000377163
The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform ... But it is likely to exert an indirect and reciprocal influence on science itself. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 000472243
But the science of operations, as derived from mathematics more especially, is a science of itself, and has its own abstract truth and value; just as logic has its own peculiar truth and value, independently of the subjects to which we may apply its reasonings and processes. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 000732424
It is however pretty evident, on general principles, that in devising for mathematical truths a new form in which to record and throw themselves out for actual use, views are likely to be induced, which should again react on the more theoretical phase of the subject. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 000767084
The more I study, the more insatiable do I feel my genius for it to be. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 000777716
Owing to some peculiarity in my nervous system, I have perception of some things, which no one else has; or at least very few, if any ... I can throw rays from every quarter of the universe into one vast focus. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 000825944
The Analytical Engine, on the contrary, can either add, subtract, multiply or divide with equal facility; and performs each of these four operations in a direct manner, without the aid of any of the other three. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 000982640
Understand well as I may, my comprehension can only be an infinitesimal fraction of all I want to understand. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 001005182
I have got a scheme to make a thing in the form of a horse with a steam engine in the inside so contrived as to move an immense pair of wings, fixed on the outside of the horse, in such a manner as to carry it up into the air while a person sits on its back. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 001005195
One essential object is to choose that arrangement which shall tend to reduce to a minimum the time necessary for completing the calculation. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 001005205
Imagination is the Discovering Faculty, pre-eminently. It is that which penetrates into the unseen worlds around us, the worlds of Science. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 001005207
The science of operations, as derived from mathematics more especially, is a science of itself, and has its own abstract truth and value. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 001012553
It may be desirable to explain, that by the word operation, we mean any process which alters the mutual relation of two or more things, be this relation of what kind it may. This is the most general definition, and would include all subjects in the universe. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 001157942
This one fact implies everything; and it is scarcely necessary to point out, for instance, that while the Difference Engine can merely tabulate, and is incapable of developing, the Analytical Engine can either tabulate or develope. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 001176625
In enabling mechanism to combine together general symbols in successions of unlimited variety and extent, a uniting link is established between the operations of matter and the abstract mental processes of the most abstract branch of mathematical science. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 001269790
The intellectual, the moral, the religious seem to me all naturally bound up and interlinked together in one great and harmonious whole. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 001511105
A new, a vast, and a powerful language is developed for the future use of analysis, in which to wield its truths so that these may become of more speedy and accurate practical application for the purposes of mankind than the means hitherto in our possession have rendered possible. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 001559176
That brain of mine is something more than merely mortal, as time will show. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 001605730
One main reason why the separate nature of the science of operations has been little felt, and in general little dwelt on, is the shifting meaning of many of the symbols used in mathematical notation. First, the symbols of operation are frequently also the symbols of the results of operations. -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 001762718
If you can't give me poetry, can't you give me poetical science? -- Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace Quotes : pic 001796215
As soon as I have got flying to perfection, I have got a scheme about a steam engine. -- Ada Lovelace
