Description for Ada´s Algorithm: How Lord Byron´s Daughter Launched the Digital Age Through the Poetry of Numbers Paperback. Ada's Algorithm tells the story of Ada Lovelace's turbulent life, and tells through the story of her life how she could have started the digital revolution two centuries ago but was thwarted by the then prevalent disregard for the intelligence of women. Num Pages: 256 pages. BIC Classification: 1DBK; 3JH; BGH; PBC; PDZ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 129. .
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.
