The Analytical Engine is an embodying of the science of operations, constructed with peculiar reference to abstract number as the subject of… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share Image
The Analytical Engine] might act upon other things besides number, were objects found whose mutual fundamental relations could be expressed by those… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share Image
But the science of operations, as derived from mathematics more especially, is a science of itself, and has its own abstract truth… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share Image
In abstract mathematics, of course operations alter those particular relations which are involved in the considerations of number and space, and the… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share Image
The ideas which led to the Analytical Engine occurred in a manner wholly independent of any that were connected with the Difference Engine. These… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share

We may say most aptly that the Analytical Engine weaves algebraical patterns just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves. — Ada Lovelace Copy Share
Indeed we may consider the engine as the material and mechanical representative of analysis, and that our actual working powers in this department of… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share
This one fact implies everything; and it is scarcely necessary to point out, for instance, that while the Difference Engine can merely tabulate, and… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share
The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform... But it… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share

The object of the engine is in fact to give the utmost practical efficiency to the resources of numerical interpretations of the higher science… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share
Secondly, figures, the symbols of numerical magnitude, are frequently also the symbols of operations, as when they are the indices of powers. Wherever terms… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share
“The Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns, just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves.” — Ada Lovelace Copy Share
In considering any new subject, there is frequently a tendency, first, to overrate what we find to be already interesting or remarkable; and, secondly,… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share
Many persons who are not conversant with mathematical studies imagine that because the business of [Babbage’s Analytical Engine] is to give its results in… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share
