Bedtime Story
Flowchart of Menabrea and that of Ada Lovelace for Solving Two Linear Equations with Two Variables
Tonight we shall be continuing with the
Note D of Ada Lovelace wherein she is describing how the engine would go about
solving two linear equations with two unknown variables x and y.
Last night, she had wished that we place her
diagram next to the table of Menabrea side by side, so as to compare with it
each line and thus each operation that the engine would follow.
So following her wish, I am going to repost
that table of Menabrea along with the table of Ada Lovelace as she is
suggesting to us.
In it he particularly tried to explain how
the Variable cards would interact with the vertical columns of discs; cards
would be ordering what operations to perform and the vertical columns actually
performing them.
The above two are the tables of Menabrea.
Now at bottom is the table of Lovelace.

Another great educator and a teacher that I am aware of is
Professor Subhashish Chattopadhyay in Bangalore, India.
While I narrate stories, Professor Subhashish an electronic
engineer and a former professor at BARC, does and teaches real mathematics and
physics.
He started the participation of Indian students at the
International Physics Olympiad.

All his books can be downloaded for free through this link:
For edutainment and English education of your children, I
recommend this large collection of Halloween Songs for Kids:
