Product Information
Ada Lovelace is recognised today as history's first computer programmer - she imagined them 100 years before they existed!
"Priceman fills the pages with numbers, letters, and mathematical computations--at one point, Lovelace soars above the city, borne on angel wings of numerals and symbols.[Lovelace] emerges as an independent innovator whose enthusiasms are contagious, and an afterword offers additional fascinating details."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
