“Written with grace and intelligence, researched with care. . . . Sure to inspire a new generation of pioneers.” ―Shelf Awareness (starred review)This illuminating biography reveals how the daughter of Lord Byron, Britain’s most infamous Romantic poet, became the world’s first computer programmer.Even by 1800s standards, Ada Byron Lovelace had an unusual upbringing. Her strict mother worked hard at cultivating her own role as the long-suffering ex-wife of bad-boy poet Lord Byron while raising Ada in isolation. Tutored by the brightest minds, Ada developed a hunger for mental puzzles, mathematical conundrums, and scientific discovery that kept pace with the breathtaking advances of the industrial and social revolutions taking place in Europe. At seventeen, Ada met eccentric inventor Charles Babbage, a kindred spirit. Their ensuing collaborations resulted in ideas and concepts that presaged computer programming by almost two hundred years, and Ada Lovelace is now recognized as a pioneer

This book looks at the basics of computer programming. It explains how programming is based on logical reasoning and the answers to simple questions, what can be done with computer programming, and ho

This brand-new series highlights some of the major contributions women have made in the world of science.Did you know that the technology behind cell phones was based on an idea developed during World War II by the Hollywood star Heddy Lamar to prevent the enemy intercepting radio messages? The computer and other electronic devices have changed life dramatically over the last 70 years―and many of the key breakthroughs in technology were made by women. These women’s achievements were often highly specialized and have been widely overlooked. This book tells their stories and describes their vital contributions.

TRUE STORIES OF DETERMINATION AND DISCOVERY This collection features 25 inspiring tales of women in science, technology, engineering, and math. Read about how these women solved problems, made incredible breakthroughs, and paved the way for future scientists everywhere. Create a computer with mathematician Ada Lovelace. Design a robot with engineer Cynthia Breazeal. And help others with Rebecca Lee Crumpler, the first African American woman to become a doctor of medicine. This book pairs inspiring, easy-to-read text with colorful full-page portraits created by female and nonbinary artists from all around the world. Plus, scannable codes let you listen to longer stories on the Rebel Girls app!

In the long-awaited follow-up to the beloved classic Frindle, a new generation of kids discovers the power of words and imagination - and yes, even screens - to solve a mystery and change their world!"A fitting final work from a master storyteller."--Kirkus ReviewsJosh Willet is a techie, a serious gamer. Which is why Josh and his friends can't stand Mr. N's ELA class; it's a strict no-tech zone. Mr. N makes them write everything out by hand, he won't use a Smartboard, and he's obsessed with some hundred-year-old grammar book. Then Josh discovers a secret; turns out Mr. N's been keeping a lot more than technology from his students! Together with his best friend Vanessa, and using all the computer skills they've got, Josh is determined to solve the mystery of Mr. N's past. And maybe get some screentime back, too? Andrew Clements's final novel is a timely one--about the importance of language, the changes that come along with technology (good and bad), and how sometimes you have to chall

Linear Algebra is an important basic theory course in the teaching plan of higher engineering schools. It is a mathematical tool widely used in all fields of natural science and engineering technology. With the rapid development of modern science and technology and the extensive application of computer, the importance of Linear Algebra in theory and application is more prominent. This puts forward higher request to the Linear Algebra teaching content from the depth and the breadth.Linear Algebra is given priority to in order to discuss the finite dimensional linear space theory courses, with strong abstractness and logical. Since the application of Linear Algebra has gone deep into the fields of natural science, social science, engineering technology, economy, management and so on. Therefore, of course, Linear Algebra should be combined with simple discretization methods, it should be co
