It was more like a science experiment than a childhood: How could her mother, Lady Annabella Byron, raise Ada to be as unlike her notorious father as possible?  \nAda never knew her dad, who left England when she was still a baby. Annabella refused to tell her daughter anything about him until after he had died in Greece, when Ada was eight. Lord Byron may have been England’s most famous poet, but he was also—in the words of a former girlfriend—“mad, bad, and dangerous to know.”There was even a term—“Byronic”—for someone who was wild, dark, dramatic, rebellious. Just the opposite of a proper person in the stuffy Victorian era.  \nAnnabella’s wealthy friends were appalled when she married Byron, and soon so was she. During their brief marriage, he dubbed Annabella the Princess of Parallelograms for her love of geometrical shapes. She was a well-educated woman for her day, especially in math and science, logical to a fault. Not particularly affectionate to her daughter, she was even known to refer heras “it.”  \nAnnabella kept an iron grip on her daughter’s days from the moment Ada awoke at 6 a. m. until bedtime. She hired an army of top-notch scholars to educate Ada at home on every subject—except poetry. The emphasis was on facts, logic, and all branches of math, as well as languages and other subjects useful to know. Anything to squelch flights of fancy and prevent her from becoming a poet.  \nPoor Ada had no siblings or playmates. Instead she was watched over by several close friends of her mother, all unmarried. If she showed any rebelliousness or bad behavior, like talking too much or riding her horse too often, they reported back to her mother. Ada called them “the Furies” and hated them.  \n1  \n2  \n3  \n4  \n5  \nIf she had a moment to herself, she could be found on the lawn outside the family’s elegant estate, her cat Puff on her lap, reading atome like Bingley’s Useful Knowledge.  \nEven her diet was controlled, chiefly mutton (sheep) oozing grease, with fruits and vegetables served only rarely.  \nAda decided early on she was a genius. She dabbled in drawing, music, and other fields, including—gasp—poetry. By age eight, she was definitely in love with numbers. Equations and calculations became her focus, as well as the latest news in science.  \nOne day when Puff dragged in a bird he had killed, 12-year-old Ada carefully studied its wing. For the next year, she did experiments and research on bird anatomy. She became obsessed with getting humans to fly, even designing wings for herself of paper and wire. She was trying to invent a new branch of science, which she called Flyology.  \nAt 13 she completed the drawing of a “Planetarium,” a comprehensive map of the stars. At 17 one of her tutors raved that with her math talent Ada could become “an original mathematical investigator.” Ada felt she was destined for a brilliant future in science—it was just a matter of focusing.  \nThe following year, through another tutor, she met Charles Babbage, professor of mathematics, prolific inventor, and social butterfly. Every Saturday afternoon he invited a glittering crowd to his home to marvel at his amazing machines. Soon Ada, wearing oneof her bright-colored dresses, was attending.  \nOne of his marvels was the “Silver Dancer,” a beautiful metallic figure that performed elegant dance moves according to its clockwork mechanism. Visitors loved the life-like dancing, but Ada was more interested in the coils and cogs inside.  \nOther machines of his were more practical. Babbage was wonderstruck at the gas lamps, the steam engine, the electricity revolutionizing England. He was also inspired by a French weaver who had invented the Jacquard loom. Using a sequence of cards with holes systematically punched in them, looms were being automated,“programmed” to weave beautiful patterns in fabrics.
