The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform...… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share Image
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, on the contrary, can either add, subtract, multiply or divide with equal facility; and performs each of these four… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share Image

The Analytical Engine does not occupy common ground with mere 'calculating machines.' It holds a position wholly its own, and the considerations… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share Image
In studying the action of the Analytical Engine, we find that the peculiar and independent nature of the considerations which in all… — 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 Image
Those who incline to very strictly utilitarian views may perhaps feel that the peculiar powers of the Analytical Engine bear upon questions of abstract… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share Image
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 Image
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 Image
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 Image
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 Image
In enabling mechanism to combine together general symbols in successions of unlimited variety and extent, a uniting link is established between the operations of… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share Image
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 Image
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 Image
“The Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns, just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves.” — Ada Lovelace Copy Share Image
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 Image
