Illustrates the depth and diversity of writers, thinkers, and makers who have been inspired by Ada Lovelace, the English mathematician and writer. The volume, which commemorates the bicentennial of Ada's birth in December 1815, celebrates Lovelace's many achievements as well as the impact of her life and work, which has reverberated widely since the late nineteenth century.

Edmund C. Berkeley (1909-1988) was a mathematician, insurance actuary, inventor, publisher, and a founder of the Association for Computing Machinery. This biography, based on primary sources, provides a lens to understand social and political decisions surrounding early computer development, and the consequences of these decisions in our 21st century lives.

Instead of viewing interference as an inherently counterproductive phenomenon that should to be avoided, this title examines how to design practical systems that transform interference into a harmless, and even a beneficial phenomenon. To achieve this goal, the book considers how wireless signals interact when they interfere, and use this understanding in our system designs.
