Description

Ada Lovelace (1815–1852) was once the daughter of Lord Byron, a poet, and Anna Isabella Milbanke, a mathematician. Her parents separated when she was once young, and her mother insisted on a logic-focused education, rejecting Byron’s “mad” love of poetry. But Ada remained occupied with her father and regarded as mathematics “poetical science.” By means of her friendship with inventor Charles Babbage, she become focused on “programming” his Analytical Engine, a precursor to the pc, thus changing into the sector’s first computer programmer. This picture book biography of Ada Lovelace is a compelling portrait of a woman who saw the opportunity of numbers to make art.
