{"product_id":"16689-ada-lovelace","title":"Ada Lovelace","description":"The English writer Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron, developed a deep interest in mathematics at an early age, especially in Charles Babbage's work on the Analytical Engine. This notebook, introduced by Joasia Krysa, contains a complete reproduction of her famous \"Note G,\" one of a series of notes with which she commented on her translation of a text by Luigi Federico Menebrae on Babbage's research. Note G contains an algorithm, a kind of software, which was intended to enable Babbage's machine – which did not yet exist at the time – to carry out certain computational processes, and which is generally regarded as the first computer program. While Lovelace expresses doubts in Note G about a computer's ability to \"develop artificial intelligence,\" elsewhere she foresees that the machine's activity could go beyond mere calculation. In her thinking, she succeeded in \"combining scientific rationalism with a subjective imagination.\" Note G is supplemented by selected letters from Lovelace's correspondence with Babbage as well as her sonnet \"The Rainbow.\"\u003cbr\u003eAda Lovelace (1815–1852) was an English writer.\u003cbr\u003eJoasia Krysa is a curator, scholar, and agent of dOCUMENTA (13).","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-2904-8)","offer_id":44503951474952,"sku":"9783775729048","price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ebook - PDF (978-3-7757-4961-9)","offer_id":44573663396104,"sku":"9783775749619","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook - EPUB (978-3-7757-3084-6)","offer_id":44573663428872,"sku":"9783775730846","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775729048.jpg?v=1744037821","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16689-ada-lovelace","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
