Cover of Ada’s Ideas: The Story of Ada Lovelace, the World’s First Computer ProgrammerAda’s Ideas: The Story of Ada Lovelace, the World’s First Computer ProgrammerFiona RobinsonThis biography recounts the life of Ada Lovelace, born in 1815 to poet Lord Byron and mathematician Anna Isabella Milbanke. After her parents separated, Ada’s mother directed her education toward logic and away from poetry, though Ada remained interested in her father and described mathematics as “poetical science.” Her friendship with inventor Charles Babbage brought her to work on programming his Analytical Engine, an early forerunner of the computer. The book tells how Lovelace’s analytical work contributed to the foundations of modern computing.All readersOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
