Ada Lovelace Exhibition
At the end of half term I visited my parents for the weekend, ostensibly to help out with admin. About half way through Saturday my mother very firmly drove me to the centre of Oxford and left me outside the Bodleian with instructions to amuse myself at the Ada Lovelace exhibition.
The Ada Lovelace exhibition was more a case than an exhibition. Still it had interesting stuff in it.
Bits of Babbage's Difference Engine
A page from Ada Lovelace's paper showing her algorithm for calculating Bernoulli Numbers.
Notes in the hand-writing of both Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage (no I don't know whose is which) relating to the Königsberg Bridge Problem
Daguerrotypes of Ada Lovelace by Antoine Claudet from the 1840s.
