Listen "#30 - ADA LOVELACE"
Episode Synopsis
Ada Lovelace was a 19th-century mathematician and writer, best known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical computer, the Analytical Engine. Born in 1815, she was the daughter of poet Lord Byron. Ada is often celebrated as the world's first computer programmer because she wrote the first algorithm intended for a machine. She uniquely foresaw the potential of computers beyond mere number-crunching, envisioning their application in music and art. Her vision laid the groundwork for future computing. Despite dying young at 36, Ada's legacy lives on as a pioneer who bridged the gap between science and imagination.
