"A new, a vast, and a powerful language is developed for the future use of analysis, in which to wield its truths so that these may become of more speedy and accurate practical application for the purposes of mankind than the means hitherto in our possession have rendered possible."
—— 阿达·洛芙莱斯
“未来会有一种新的、广博的、强大的语言会被发展出来，并用于分析领域。用这门语言我们可以创造出为人所用的应用。这些应用比迄今为止我们所掌握的所有方法更快更精确。这门语言让这一切变为可能。”
阿达的老师：德·摩根
他的代表作有《微积分学》和《形式逻辑》
德·摩根教授了阿达数学
Advanced mathematics
To understand how the Analytical Engine worked, Ada Lovelace needed advanced mathematics. In the early 1840s she took what was in effect a correspondence course with the leading mathematicain Augustus De Morgan, studying the same advanced material as his students as University College London. De Morgan thought highly of her abilities, describing her to Lady Byron as "utterly out of the common way," and capable of grasping the "real difficulties of first principles."
高等数学
为了理解分析引擎是如何工作的，阿达·洛芙莱斯需要学习高等数学。在1840年早期， 她拜师于处于学术领先地位的德·摩根学习高等数学。她学习的材料跟德·摩根在伦敦大学教授的课程一致。德·摩根高度评价了她的天赋，并向她的母亲拜伦小姐说道她的才能“非比寻常”而且拥有可以理解“真的很难理解的基本原则”的能力。
Daguerreotype of Ada Lovelace by Antoine Claudet, early-mid 1840s
Antoine Claudet learned the art of photography from Louis Daguerre, the inventor of one of the earliest photographic processes. He established his first Daguerreotype studio along London's historic Strand thoroughfare in 1841, before moving to Regent's Park and finally to Regent's Street. His customers included many well-known figures in fashionalbe, literary and scientfic circles, among them Michael Faraday, Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace.

安托万·克劳德向路易斯·达盖尔处学习了照相技术。路易斯·达盖尔是最早的照相技术发明人之一。1841年，安托万在搬进雷金特公园，并最终定居于雷金特大街之前，他在著名的伦敦斯特兰德大道上建立了他的第一个银版照相馆。他的客户涵盖了很多上流社会，文学界以及科学界的名人，其中有迈克尔·法拉第，查尔斯·巴贝奇以及阿达·洛芙莱斯。
