ADA Byron Lovelace & the Thinking Machine by Laurie Wallmark
4.0
This woman is the daughter of Lord Byron - the poet. Her mother left him when she was young. He was about words and his daughter was about math and science. She loved numbers. We get her history and her love of flying. She wrote the first computer program. It’s funny, my previous job at Math Reviews named a computer program Ada after her and I didn’t know that. Reading this, I’m like, oh, this is the story.
I probably never would have learned the story without these great intro books. Now I know. I don’t want more information, this was just right.
I told my nephew that this was about people who made machines that would eventually lead to the first robot. So he was interested at first and when it was all about numbers and this weird looking machine he felt I lied to him. He couldn’t see a robot at all. He thought this was boring, but the machine was a little interesting. He said using a computer is much faster. He gave this 2 stars.
