A masterful portrait of two remarkable women, revealing how two turbulent lives were always haunted by the dangerously enchanting, quicksilver spirit of that extraordinary father whom Ada never knew: Lord Byron.

Presents a biography of Ada Lovelace, the mathematician who helped the world see machines and numbers in new ways. Includes a video, which launches via a 4D app.

Even by 1800s standards, Ada Byron Lovelace had an unusual upbringing. Her strict mother worked hard at cultivating her own role as the long-suffering ex-wife of bad-boy poet Lord Byron while raising Ada in isolation. Tutored by the brightest minds, Ada developed a hunger for mental puzzles, mathematical conundrums, and scientific discovery that kept pace with the breathtaking advances of the industrial and social revolutions taking place in Europe. At seventeen, Ada met eccentric inventor Charles Babbage, a kindred spirit. Their ensuing collaborations resulted in ideas and concepts that presaged computer programming by almost two hundred years, and Ada Lovelace is now recognized as a pioneer and prophet of the information age.

Examines the life of mathematician and computer programmer Ada Lovelace in a simple, age-appropriate way that will help children develop word recognition and reading skills.

"Known as 'The Enchantress of Numbers' by many inventors and mathematicians of the 19th century, Ada Lovelace is recognized today as history's first computer programmer. Her work was an inspiration to such famous minds as Charles Babbage and Alan Turing. This is her story"--Provided by publisher.

A brief biography of Ada Lovelace, the scientist who contributed to computer programming.

This is the story of Ada Lovelace, her life, her amazing achievements, her death, and her footprint on history.

Twelve-year-olds George, the very unlucky third Lord of Devonshire, and his neighbor, scientist Ada Byron, join forces against a nefarious group of criminals who steal the map to a priceless family heirloom.

Women have made some of the most important scientific discoveries of all time. In this title, readers learn about mathematician Ada Lovelace from her early work in creating the Bernoulli algorithm to her understanding that numbers could represent data, making her an early computer programmer. A timeline, sidebars, fun facts, glossary, and index supplement the text. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Checkerboard Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.

"Have you ever wondered who developed computer coding? Discover how Ada Lovelace's interest in mathematics led to her work on an early computer and the first programming algorithm ever used"--Provided by publisher.
