Who was Ada Lovelace: the computer wizard of Victorian England
Ada Lovelace was a child prodigy; brilliant at maths, she read numbers like most people read words.
In 1834 she came to the attention of Charles Babbage, a scientist and techno-whizz who had just built an amazing new 'THINKING MACHINE'. Ada and Mr Babbage started working together – a perfect partnership which bore fruit in the most important invention of the modern world, the computer.
