Professor Ursula Martin CBE of the University of Oxford gave a presentation on the scientific life of Ada Lovelace which is provided below for downloading.
As seemed obvious from the discussion afterwards, it was very well received, and provided an extremely interesting insight into the life and times of Ada Lovelace.
