Mathematicians model the sound an object makes by its spectrum, a collection of numbers. “Hearing shapes” means reconstructing geometric properties from the spectrum. Famously posed as “Can you hear the shape of a drum?” spectral geometry asks which properties of shape can be “heard,” i.e. determined by its spectrum.

More than a century before the appearance of any general purpose electronic digital computer, a British aristocrat penned a detailed algorithm for computing a mathematically important sequence on such a machine. Now considered by many as the world’s first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace was best known in her lifetime as the only legitimate child of the great Romantic poet, George Gordon Lord Byron. This talk will be an introduction to the life and work of Ada Byron Lovelace.
