Críticas
"A portrait of a particularly fascinating woman." --Jezebel on Ada's Algorith "A fine new Lovelace biography... We need her as a symbol...of all the women who have contributed to the progress of science and technology, and of all the women who might have contributed if given the chance." --Slate on Ada's Algorith "Irresistible ... If more people could have understood Babbage's machine the way Lovelace did -- indeed, if they had not all but ignored her paper, perhaps because the author was a woman -- computing might have had a far earlier start." --Chicago Tribune on Ada's Algorith "Essinger is a terrific storyteller, and he knows a great story when he sees it. Ada's Algorithm is a riveting read." --American Scientist on Ada's Algorith "A tantalizing topic... The story of a society proceeding irrevocably but ambivalently into the modern age, enthralled by advances in science and technology, adapting to new social mores, and yet still beholden to many antiquated traditions." --Wall Street Journal on Ada's Algorith "Engrossing." --New York Times Book Review on Ada's Algorithm
Reseña del editor
The partnership of Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace was one that would change science forever. They were an unlikely pair - one the professor son of a banker, the other the only child of an acclaimed poet and a social-reforming mathematician - but perhaps that is why their work was so revolutionary. They were the pioneers of computer science, creating plans for what could have been the first computer. They each saw things the other did not: it may have been Charles who designed the machines, but it was Ada who could see their potential. But what were they like? And how did they work together? Using previously unpublished correspondence between them, Charles and Ada explores the relationship between two remarkable people who shared dreams far ahead of their time.
