Description
by James Essinger (Author)
Ada's Algorithm tells the extraordinary story of Ada Lovelace, who wrote the world's first algorithm over two hundred years ago. Unlike her male contemporaries, she foresaw its immense potential to create the digital age James Essinger argues. Based on exhaustive archival research, this riveting biography beautifully captures the brilliance of her mind. From her turbulent parents Lord and Lady Byron, to leading scientists and world-famous novelists, such as Charles Dickens and Walter Scott, her life was full of fascinating characters. Even so, this inspirational scientist only narrowly escaped oblivion.
