Submission + - Ada Lovelace's mathematical chops (ox.ac.uk)
bugs2squash writes: A post from the Oxford Mathematical Institute entitled: Exploding the myths of Ada Lovelace’s mathematics outlines the work of Christopher Hollings and Ursula Martin of Oxford Mathematics, and Adrian Rice, of Randolph-Macon College in Virginia, who investigated the archives of the Lovelace-Byron family, especially her correspondence with August De Morgan and the origins of the paper Lovelace wrote explaining Babbage's work.
The papers, and the correspondence with De Morgan, can be read in full on the website of the Clay Mathematics Institute, who supported the work, as did the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
