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.
