The book "Ada's Ideas" by Robinson explores the life and work of Ada Lovelace- the world's first computer programming. She was born as the daughter of poet Lord Byron and mathematician Anna Isabella Millibank, but she was neglected by her parents. However, though they divorced, her influence from her mother led to a child focus on developing her mathematical skills instead of artistic. She has become fascinated with mathematics and called it "a most poetic science". Through her ties to inventing Charles Babbage and his analytical engine, Ada became known for being world's most first computer programmer by doing this. It is an exciting portrait which suggests that even before computers and digital information age, researchers worldwide were searching for ways to leverage mathematic symbols to convey ideas. It also provides a fascinating glimpse into the beginnings of our modern computing world.
Ada's ideas are a story about Ada Lovelace–the world's first programmer—features a beautiful, full-color illustration throughout and includes photos of Ada and her brilliant mind. Taking readers through time, it unravels the fascinating facts of Lovelace's life and impact within a tale last known for being embraced by industry leaders following the success of its early releases. Indeed, Lovelace had begun her career as the intended communications for her friend Charles Babbage using her skills with statistics as part of the analytical engines they developed. Still, taking off from here, the narrative unveils greater details including her relationship with Lord Byron.

Описание книги от Fiona Robinson
Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) was the daughter of Lord Byron, a poet, and Anna Isabella Milbanke, a mathematician. Her parents separated when she was young, and her mother insisted on a logic-focused education, rejecting Byron's mad love of poetry. But Ada remained fascinated with her father and considered mathematics poetical science. Via her friendship with inventor Charles Babbage, she became involved in programming his Analytical Engine, a precursor to the computer, thus becoming the world's first computer programmer. This picture book biography of Ada Lovelace is a compelling portrait of a woman who saw the potential for numbers to make art.
