Ada Lovelace: The Bride of Science: Romance, Reason & Byron’s Daughter by Benjamin Woolley

Description

The much-acclaimed biography of Ada Lovelace, the daughter of Lord Byron, who was born in 1815 just after the Battle of Waterloo, and died aged 36, soon after the Great Exhibition of 1851. It was her work with Babbage that led to her being credited with the invention of computer programming and to her name being adopted for the programming language that controls the US military machine. Reissued to coincide with the bicentenary of Ada’s birth. 432pp
