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
One main reason why the separate nature of the science of operations has been little felt, and in general little dwelt on,… — Ada Lovelace Copy Share Image
We cannot forbear suggesting one practical result which it appears to us must be greatly facilitated by the independent manner in which… — 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.… — 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
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
It were much to be desired, that when mathematical processes pass through the human brain instead of through the medium of inanimate… — 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 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
It may be desirable to explain, that by the word operation, we mean any process which alters the mutual relation of two… — 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
