Published an extensive set of notes accompanying her translation of Menabrea’s Analytical Engine article, including a stepwise Bernoulli-number procedure and a discussion of rule-governed manipulation beyond numerical quantity.

What is recorded here?

Published an extensive set of notes accompanying her translation of Menabrea’s Analytical Engine article, including a stepwise Bernoulli-number procedure and a discussion of rule-governed manipulation beyond numerical quantity.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The target is Lovelace’s 1843 translation and notes. Menabrea wrote the translated article and Babbage designed the engine; disputed “first programmer” shorthand is not used as the scientific claim.
