Books like Enchantress of numbers by Jennifer Chiaverini
Ada Byron, Lord Byron’s only legitimate daughter, grows up under the watchful eye of a mother who is a mathematician. Her mother, determined to shield Ada from her famously unpredictable father’s legacy, replaces fairy tales with rigorous studies in mathematics and science, and any hint of imagination or poetry is swiftly suppressed. When Ada arrives in London, she is presented to high society as a highly eligible heiress and finds the intellectual and social circles she has long sought. It is here that her close friendship with the brilliant inventor Charles Babbage develops, a bond that will ultimately influence her future in ways her mother could never have anticipated.
