Inhaltsangabe:
Through the infamous divorce of her parents, Ada Lovelace became the most talked-about child in Georgian Britain. This riveting biography tells the extraordinary yet little known story of her life and times-when mathematics was as fashionable as knitting among women and Ada became the world's first computer programmer. But for her era's view on gender, Ada would single-handedly have started the digital age more than two centuries ago.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: James Essinger studied at Lincoln College, University of Oxford. He writes about ideas that have had a seminal impact on the modern world and currently lives in Canterbury.

We provide at least two images for every book or map. All images are taken directly from the books in our possession; we never use stock photographs, except in the rare instance where a volume is awaiting scanning. This ensures that what you see is precisely what you will receive. If a book has been bound so that it can open flat, we may provide further images. ________________________________________ Ada's Algorithm is James Kessinger's biography of Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron, exploring how her visionary work with Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine made her the world's first computer programmer and a pioneer who foresaw the digital age. ________________________________________ Published in 2013, Ada's Algorithm: How Lord Byron's Daughter Ada Lovelace Launched the Digital Age Through the Poetry of Numbers tells the remarkable story of Ada Lovelace (1815-1852), a mathematician whose insights anticipated the modern computer nearly two centuries before it became reality. The book traces Ada's unusual upbringing as the only legitimate child of the poet Lord Byron and his wife Annabella Milbanke. Determined to prevent her daughter from inheriting Byron's "poetic temperament," Annabella steered Ada toward mathematics and science. This rigorous education, combined with Ada's own imaginative mind, gave her a unique ability to see the creative potential in numbers. Her collaboration with Charles Babbage, inventor of the Analytical Engine, forms the heart of the narrative. While Babbage designed the machine, Ada grasped its deeper implications. In her famous notes on the Engine, she described how it could manipulate not just numbers but also symbols, music, and language ? a vision that foreshadowed the modern computer's role in processing information of all kinds. She also wrote what is widely regarded as the first computer program, an algorithm for calculating Bernoulli numbers. Essinger emphasises Ada's ability to blend poetry and mathematics, showing how her imaginative leaps allowed her to see beyond the mechanical into the conceptual. He argues that her contribution was not merely technical but philosophical: she understood that machines could extend human thought itself. The biography also explores the challenges Ada faced as a woman in Victorian society, where her intellectual ambitions were often dismissed or constrained. Despite ill health and a short life, she left a legacy that was rediscovered in the twentieth century by figures such as Alan Turing and honoured when the U.S. Department of Defence named its programming language "Ada" in her memory. For readers, Ada's Algorithm offers both a personal portrait of a brilliant, complex woman and a cultural history of how the digital age might have begun far earlier had her insights been fully recognised. It situates Ada Lovelace as a bridge between the Romantic imagination of her father and the scientific revolution that would shape the modern world. ________________________________________ INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please note that free shipping applies to UK orders only.
