The story of Ada Lovelace, the incredibly brilliant woman
who envisioned computers over a century before they came into existence. As a young child growing up in England, her
imagination was strong and vivid. She was an incredible student who would spend
more than six hours day taking in music, French and mathematics. A meeting and
subsequent friendship with Charles Babbage resulted in her coming to realize
that mathematics and imagination were not opposites, but indeed the perfect
pair. And thus, the beginnings of her
ingenious vision of the first computer.
