Ada's Algorithm

How Lord Byron's Daughter Ada Lovelace Launched the Digital Age
May 27, 2018kwsmith rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
Ada's position in the history of computing science is either dramatically overstated or dramatically understated, depending on which historian is speaking at the time. In this well researched biography, James Essinger aims to prove how Ada Lovelace's singular contribution to the digital age has been vastly overlooked. I can't agree with Essinger's opinion here; however, regardless of her involvement with early computing, Ada Lovelace remains a very interesting historical figure for many other reasons.
