27, 1852) is commonly known as Ada Lovelace,
famous above all for his work on Charles Babbage's general-purpose calculator, the
so-called analytical machine.
Between his notes on the machine, is what is recognized today as the first algorithm to be
processed by a machine, so it is considered as the first computer programmer
she deduced and foresaw the ability of computers to go beyond simple number
calculations, while others, including Babbage himself, focused solely on these capabilities.
His mother, Anne Isabella Noel Byron, was a mathematician and political and social
activist.
His father was the famous poet George Byron.
Given her social position and education, she met important scientists such as Andrew
