    Ada Lovelace was an English mathematician in the 1800s who is considered the first computer programmer. She wrote extensive notes on Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, which was an early general-purpose computer. Her notes included a method for calculating Bernoulli numbers, which is recognized as the first algorithm designed to be processed by a machine, showing she understood the machine's computational capabilities.

    Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (ne Byron; 10 December 1815 27 November
    1852) was an English mathematician and writer, chiefly known for her work on Charles
    Babbages early mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. Her notes
    on the engine include what is recognised as the first algorithm intended to be carried out
    by a machine. As a result, she is often regarded as the first computer programmer.
