Ada Byron Lovelace and the Thinking Machine
Laurie Wallmark, illustrated by April Chu
Ada Byron Lovelace and the Thinking Machine traces Ada Lovelace’s interest in science and mathematics and her meeting with Charles Babbage. Babbage had invented an early mechanical computer, and Ada understood how it could work. She wrote what is regarded as the first computer program to show the machine’s capabilities. Victorian-style pencil-and-paper illustrations, later colored, accompany the account.
