Exercise Your Intellect

Lady Byron pushed Ada to learn science, logic, and math. This motivated her to work hard and achieve her goals. Her mother gave her many tutors so that she would work even harder. She was privately taught these subjects by Mary Sommerville, William King, and William Frend. Sommerville later became a close friend to Ada. Sommerville also introduced her to a mathematician named Charles Babbage. Babbage later became impressed as Ada’s mentor.
