When I was doing some research on Ada Loveless, I felt a sense of proudness for her as a female back then and still had high education and dedicated work. She had a very unfortunate childhood abandoned by her father, but that doesn't stop her from being herself and pursuing what interested her.
I also thought about the timing of all milestones in science are not coincident. A lot of her work was produced during the time of the industrial revolution. A certain revolution will bring out a lot of related inventions, and the difference machine is one of the products of the industrial revolution. It's fascinating to me to think about the history of math has come a long way!
I also enjoyed working with Matt and Ivan!
