Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace was a 19th-century English mathematician known for her notes on Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine.
Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) was an English mathematician. In 1843 she translated an Italian engineer's paper on Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine into English and added notes longer than the original text.
Her notes describe a procedure for computing Bernoulli numbers on the machine, often cited as the first computer program. She also suggested that such a machine could work with symbols and music, not only numbers, which makes her a frequent reference in the history of computing.
