Out Of StockIn 1822, Charles Babbage designed the “Analytical Engine,” which was in effect the first computer. Although the machine was never built, an editor hired Ada Lovelace to write about it. Lovelace had studied advanced mathematics, which was rare for women at that time, and she went beyond what Babbage had done, expressing breakthrough ideas that are at the foundations of modern computer science.

Benoit Mandelbrot had a talent for envisioning geometric solutions to mathematical problems, and that and his ability to find connections among seemingly unrelated subjects led him to the discovery of fractal geometry. Others took what he did and applied it to new areas, and his work was the foundation for the development of smartphone antennas, movie animation magic, and much more.

Although much of his work stemmed from his study of duels, his influence stretches across a wide range of subjects, and today he is regarded as a brilliant mathematician whose contributions helped to lay the foundation for new fields such as information theory.

But what most people don’t know is that she also invented an array of circular diagrams and bar charts to explain her research on disease and death rates. The “Lady with the Lamp” can also be credited as the “Lady with the Diagrams” for pioneering a way for mathematicians and statisticians to present bare facts as intelligible truths.
