Augusta Ada Byron King,

Countess of Lovelace (December 10, 1815 London, England - November 27, 1852 Marylebone, London, England , born Augusta Ada Byron,
is mainly known for having written a description of Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer,
the analytical engine. She is also known as the "first programmer",
though she might more accurately be described as the first publisher of a program,
as she published a program written by Babbage.
She was also a keen promoter of computing seeing how influential its possibilities, though unrealized as yet, might be.






Passages from the Life of a Philosopher (1846):

" I then suggested that she add some notes to Menabrea's memoir, an idea which was immediately adopted. We discussed together the various illustrations that might be introduced: I suggested several but the selection was entirely her own. So also was the algebraic working out of the different problems, except, indeed, that relating to the numbers of Bernoulli, which I had offered to do to save Lady Lovelace the trouble. This she sent back to me for an amendment, having detected a grave mistake which I had made in the process.
