Ada Lovelace: A Life from Beginning to End

As the sole legitimate child of Lord Byron, Ada Lovelace was the progeny of literary royalty. Many might have naturally expected her to go into the field of her father, but instead of delving into poetry, she delved into the hard sciences of mathematics and analytic thinking. Even so, Ada still had the imagination of a lyricist when writing scientific treatises, at times referring to her own work as nothing short of "poetical science." Everything she did, she did with passion and dogged determination. It was this drive that led Ada to look farther and search deeper than her contemporaries.
