Description:
Ada’s mother encouraged her interest in mathematics, partly after her own interests but partly to stop her being interested in poetry like her father, the infamous Lord Byron. The interesting thing is that Ada talks about the ‘poetry of mathematics’ – she talks about the two not being in opposition and in some ways being the same thing.
