Summary:
Ada
Lovelace
(1815–1852) was the daughter of Lord Byron, a poet, and Anna Isabella Milbanke, a mathematician. Her parents separated when she was young, and her mother insisted on a logic-focused education, rejecting Byron’s mad love of poetry. But
Ada
remained fascinated with her father and considered mathematics poetical science. Via her friendship with inventor Charles Babbage, she became involved in programming his Analytical Engine, a precursor to the
computer
, thus becoming the world’s
first
computer
programmer
. This picture book biography of
Ada
Lovelace
is a compelling portrait of a woman who saw the potential for numbers to make art.
