Ada Lovelace was an English mathematician known for her contributions to early computer science.
阿达·洛芙莱斯是一位英国数学家,因其对早期计算机科学的贡献而闻名。
She was born in 1815.
她出生于1815年。
Her father was Lord Byron, a famous poet.
她的父亲是著名诗人拜伦勋爵。
However, her mother wanted her to be educated in math and science instead of the arts.
然而,她的母亲希望她学习数学和科学,而不是艺术。
In 1833, Lovelace met a mathematician named Charles Babbage, who had designed a machine that could theoretically make calculations on its own.
1833年,洛芙莱斯遇到了一位名叫查尔斯·巴贝奇的数学家,他当时已经设计了一台理论上可以自己运算的机器。
This machine was called the Difference Engine.
这台机器叫做差分机。
Lovelace was inspired by Babbage’s ideas and helped him write an algorithm for his next project, the Analytical Engine, which was even more complex.
洛芙莱斯受到了巴贝奇思想的启发,并写了一个算法帮助他设计新的机器——分析机。这个机器更加复杂。
Lovelace’s algorithm is now known as the first computer program.
如今,洛芙莱斯的算法被称为第一个计算机程序。
In her notes, Lovelace predicted that machines would one day be able to generate music and images using algorithms.
在她的笔记中,洛芙莱斯预测,有一天机器将能够使用算法生成音乐和图像。
