Book DescriptionAda, Countess of Lovelace (1815-–52), daughter of romantic poet Lord Byron and the highlyeducated Anne Isabella, is sometimes called the world’s first computer programmer, and she hasbecome an icon for women in technology today. But how did a young woman in the nineteenthcentury, without access to formal schooling or university education, acquire the knowledge andexpertise to become a pioneer of computer science? Although it was an unusual pursuit forwomen at the time, Ada Lovelace studied science and mathematics from a young age. This bookuses previously unpublished archival material to explore her precocious childhood—from hercuriosity about the science of rainbows to her design for a steam-powered flying horse—as wellas her ambitious young adulthood. Active in Victorian London’s social and scientific elitealongside Mary Somerville, Michael Faraday, and Charles Dickens, Ada Lovelace becamefascinated by the computing machines of Charles Babbage, whose ambitious, unbuilt inventionknown as the “Analytical Engine” inspired Lovelace to devise a table of mathematical formulaewhich many now refer to as the “first program.” Ada Lovelace died at just thirty-six, buther work strikes a chord to this day, offering clear explanations of the principles of computing,and exploring ideas about computer music and artificial intelligence that have been realized inmodern digital computers. Featuring detailed illustrations of the “first program” alongsidemathematical models, correspondence, and contemporary images, this book shows how AdaLovelace, with astonishing prescience, first investigated the key mathematical questions behindthe principles of modern computing.
