The Analytical Engine] might act upon other things besides number, were objects found whose mutual fundamental relations could be expressed by those of the abstract science of operations, and which should be also susceptible of adaptations to the action of… — 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
