...with falling in love or falling in lust. However, in the book love is one thing that Ada and Inman have down pat. From the time that Ada lays eyes on Inman she is in love. Often times we hear people say “They are not really in love they are just lustful”. Lust means you think you are in “love” with somebody but you actually don’t love him or her whole heartily. Inman and Ada are main characters in the book and they truly fall in love with each other. The book jumps back and fourth between Ada and Inman telling the story. Ada’s dad was a minister who moved himself and Ada to Cold Mountain from Charleston. In Charleston Ada became very educated.

...in a Small Town (2006) is a nonfiction book written by John Grisham, and his first outside the legal fiction genre. The book tells the story of Ronald 'Ron' Keith Williamson of Ada, Oklahoma, a former minor league baseball player who was wrongly convicted in 1988 for the rape and murder of Debra Sue Carter in Ada and was sentenced to death. After serving 11 years on death row, he was exonerated by DNA evidence and other material introduced by the Innocence Project and was released in 1999. Contents * 1 Synopsis * 2 Book edition * 3 References * 4 External links | Synopsis Ron Williamson has returned to his hometown of Ada, Oklahoma after multiple failed attempts to play for various minor league baseball teams, including the Fort Lauderdale Yankees and two farm teams owned by the Oakland A's. An elbow injury inhibited his chances to progress. His big dreams were not enough to overcome the odds (less than 10 percent) of making it to a big league game. His failures lead to, or aggravate, his depression and problem drinking.[1] Early in the morning of December 8, 1982, the body of Debra Sue Carter, a 21-year-old cocktail waitress, was found in the bedroom of her garage apartment in Ada. She had been beaten, raped and suffocated. After five years of false starts and shoddy police work by the Ada police department, Williamson—along with his "drinking buddy", Dennis Fritz—were...

...Augusta Ada Byron was born in London on December 10, 1815 and died in Marylebone on November 27, 1852. Augusta Ada Byron goes by Ada Byron, Ada King (her married name), and The Countess of Lovelace because her husband William King inherited a noble title. Ada King’s home life was not the best. Her mother was Lady Anne Isabella Milbanke Byron, and her father was a famous poet named Lord George Gordon Byron. Her parents split up only a few months after she was born. It made it hard on her mother having to provide for both of them on one income. Her father moved out of the country when him and Ms. Byron split up. Also, Lord Byron died in Greece when his daughter was only eight. With that being said, Lord Byron was not able to watch his amazingly...

...Ada Lovelace was born in 1815, and died in 1852 from cancer. Ada Lovelace was the daughter of a famous poet Lord Byron and Anabella Millbank, who also enjoyed math. Ada’s parents were divorced right after she was born and was never able to meet her estrange father. However, her father corresponded with her mother on her upbringing. Anabella Millbank, Ada’s mother, did not want her daughter to be a poet like her father and did everything possible, pushed Ada night and day, to learn mathematics. Even though Ada’s fond interests were elsewhere, her mother diminished those interests until Ada grew a fondness of math, by no choice of her own. At an early age Ada met with Charles Babbage in London, and with that Ada first learned of the Difference Engine. This is when Ada Lovelace’s eyes grew with enormous content, interest, and enthusiasm of the invention, which was later known as the Analytical Engine. In her twenties, Ada married her husband (several years her age) Earl William King and soon after, she bore three children. After having her children she became engrossed and focused on the formulation of the Analytical Engine, which took several years of extensive work, which she loved. Ada composed a “plan for how the engine might calculate Bernoulli numbers. This plan is now regarded as the first “computer program” (Larry Riddle, p. 1). Ada became ill and was diagnosed with cancer of the uterus and died at an early age, like her father, right after her accomplishments. Ada’s achievement...

...Ada Lovelace was the first women and person to write a computer program. Her efforts and work has been a real inspiration to both females and males around the world. Young people look up to her because how young she was when she accomplished many things. Ada Lovelace is a woman I look up to because she tried to challenge herself, was very passionate about the things she did, and her perseverance. First of all, Ada Lovelace was a person who really challenged herself to try things to reach her full potential. Ada Lovelace had many tutors and would study many hours each day to expand her knowledge. This shows that she would really push herself and try to understand many different things. This is because her mother knew that she had potential...

...Ada Augusta King Augusta Ada Byron was born on December 10, 1815 in London, England to the poet George Gordon Noel Byron and w3ife Anna Isabella Milbanke. Ada was the only legitimate child of her parents. It was rumored that Ada’s father Lord Byron fathered a child by his half-sister, Augusta Leigh, whom Ada was named after. Several months after Ada’s birth her mother took her and left her father, filed for separation and left England for good. Ada’s father never saw her again. It was years later before Ada would have any contact with her sister, Medora Leigh, the daughter of Byron’s half-sister Augusta Leigh. Ada and Medora were told by Ada’s mother that Byron was Medora’s father. Ada’s mother taught her music and mathemathics at an early age and home schooled her as well. Ada also received tutoring in mathemathics and science from William Frend, William king, and Mary Somervilleand Augusta De Morgan. In 1932, Mary Somerville, noted researcher and scientific auther of the 19th century introduced Ada to Charles Babbage and later to her husband. Ada began studying and documenting on Babbage calculating machine, the Analytical Engine. She published the first in-depth paper on programming a computer. In 1935, at the age of 19 Ada married William King, later becoming the first Earl of Lovelace, in which she gained the title the Countess of Lovelace. The couple had three children, sons Byron Noel, Ralph Gordon, and daughter Anne Isabella. Ada became an expert on Babbage’s...

...Although computers and computer programs are now an everyday thing in our society they were thought of and created way before our time. The inventors of these amazing devices and programs were way ahead of their time (in my opinion) and made significant strides in helping us get to where we as a society are today in relation to the computing science. Two of these people are Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace. Charles Babbage (1791-1871) was many things, a mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer. To be just one of those is impressive enough however when combining these fields Babbage was able to introduce the world to the idea of a mechanical computer. Babbage understood that by processing math calculations by hand there was much room for error in calculation and documentation. He determined that mechanical machines would present an opportunity to be not only more accurate but also less labor intensive. Babbage was responsible for designing two separate mechanical computers, The Difference Engine and The Analytical Engine. The Difference Engine was the precursor to the more advanced Analytical Engine. The Difference Engine was capable of processing polynomial functions (advanced math) which avoided the need for multiplication or division. While the Analytical Machine was more advanced and programmable through the use of punch cards. The punch cards would feed data to the machine essentially programming it to run a calculation. Due to financial restraints...

...people in calculations was the abacus which is still being used some 5000 years after its invention. In 1642 Blaise Pascal (a famous French mathematician) invented an adding machine based on mechanical gears in which numbers were represented by the cogs on the wheels. Englishman, Charles Babbage, invented in the 1830's a "Difference Engine" made out of brass and pewter rods and gears, and also designed a further device which he called an "Analytical Engine". His design contained the five key characteristics of modern computers:- An input device Storage for numbers waiting to be processed A processor or number calculator A unit to control the task and the sequence of its calculations An output device Augusta Ada Byron (later Countess of Lovelace) was an associate of Babbage who has become known as the first computer programmer. An American, Herman Hollerith, developed (around 1890) the first electrically driven device. It utilised punched cards and metal rods which passed through the holes to close an electrical circuit and thus cause a counter to advance. This machine was able to complete the calculation of the 1890 U.S. census in 6 weeks compared with 7 1/2 years for the 1880 census which was manually counted. In 1936 Howard Aiken of Harvard University convinced Thomas Watson of IBM to invest $1 million in the development of an electromechanical version of Babbage's analytical engine. The Harvard Mark 1 was completed in 1944 and was 8 feet...

...Babbage noticed a harmony between machines and mathematics: machines were best at performing tasks repeatedly without mistake, while mathematics often required a repetition of steps. The problem was applying the ability of machines to the needs of mathematics. Babbage's first attempt was in 1822 when he proposed a machine to perform differential equations, called a Difference Engine. It was powered by steam and large as a locomotive. The machine would have a stored program and could perform calculations and print the results automatically. After working on the Difference Engine for ten years, Babbage was suddenly inspired to begin work on the first general-purpose computer, which he called the Analytical Engine. Babbage's assistant, Augusta Ada King, daughter of poet Lord Byron, was instrumental in...
