Description

A picture book biography of Ada Lovelace, the girl recognized nowadays as history’s first computer programmer―she imagined them 100 years before they existed!

In the early nineteenth century lived Ada Byron: a young girl with a wild and beautiful imagination. The daughter of across the world acclaimed poet Lord Byron, Ada used to be tutored in science and arithmetic from an overly early age. But Ada’s imagination used to be never meant to be tamed and, armed with the basics of math and engineering, she came into her own as a woman of ideas―equal parts mathematician and philosopher.

From her whimsical beginnings as a gifted child to her such a lot sophisticated notes on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine, this book celebrates the girl recognized nowadays as the primary computer programmer.
