From a\u00a0humble\u00a0beginning\u00a0as a joke in a pub, The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage<\/em> is now\u00a0an Eisner-nominated graphic novel!\u00a0New York Times Bestseller and winner of the British Society for the History of Mathematics Neumann Prize!<\/h3>\n

MORE ABOUT THE BOOK<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

.<\/p>\n

For more on Ada Lovelace not in the form of a comic book, an excellent in-depth summation of Lovelace and Babbage’s work<\/a>\u00a0can be found at Steven Wolfram’s blog.<\/p>\n

Read More About Charles Babbage.<\/a> Charles Babbage would totally have become a street-music destroying Masked Avenger if he could have. Actually he kind of did.<\/a><\/p>\n

For more on the Analytical Engine, I have some animations and visualisations of it here<\/a>. If that whets your appetite for gigantic steam powered Babbagey calculating machines be sure to check out Plan 28<\/a> where an intrepid crew is attempting to build one.<\/p>\n

For the hardcore:<\/p>\n

Ada Lovelace’s Paper on the Analytical Engine<\/a> (are you HARD ENOUGH?)<\/p>\n

Charles Babbage’s Autobiography<\/a> (awesome, hilarious, fascinating, with VOLCANOES and MATH, why is this not in print?!?)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Behold the awesome might of the Difference Engine!<\/a> Two working Difference Engines have been built in modern times- there’s one in the Science Museum in London<\/a>, and that’s the one currently in the Computer History Museum<\/a> in Mountain View California.<\/p>\n

There’s also the whole rest of this website, with several amusing episodes and assorted oddities.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
