Ada's Ideas: The Story of Ada Lovelace, the World's First Computer Programmer

Ada Lovelace (1815â€“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 Byronâ€™s â€œmadâ€ love of poetry. But Ada remained fascinated with her father and considered mathematics â€œpoetical science.â€ Via her friendship with inventor Charles Babbage, she became involved in â€œprogrammingâ€ his Analytical Engine, a precursor to the computer, thus becoming the worldâ€™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.
