Ada, the Enchantress of Numbers Prophet of the Computer Age Paperback - 1998
by Betty A. Toole
Summary
*Ada Lovelace: The World's First Hacker. . .*
"Toole did research for more than eight years, burying herself in British archives and libraries to narrate and edit this extraordinary collection of letters written by Ada Lovelace. Not only do they outline Ada's ingenuity for the sciences, but they also enlighten us on all aspects of Lady Lovelace's multidimensional life: her passionate desire to flourish in a "man's world," her battle with drug addiction and chronic sickness, and her efforts as a mother and wife. Lovelace also had a reputation as a wild gambler and a lover. What can tell us more truthfully about Ms. Lovelace's life than letters from the Lady herself?" --[*Carla Sinclair*][1]

Description:
Mill Valley, CA: Strawberry Hill Press. Paperback. 1998. Small 8vo 323pp . Fine with no DJ. Augusta Ada King-Noel, Countess of Lovelace (1815-1852) was an English mathematician and writer, chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. She was the first to recognise that the machine had applications beyond pure calculation, and published the first algorithm intended to be carried out by such a machine. As a result, she is sometimes regarded as the first to recognise the full potential of a " computing machine" and the first computer programmer .
