Ada Lovelace was born on December 10, 1815. An English mathematician and writer chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage’s proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. She was the first to recognize that the machine had applications beyond pure calculation, and to have published the first algorithm intended to be carried out by such a machine. As a result, she is often regarded as the first computer programmer. She was also the only legitimate child of poet Lord Byron and Lady Byron.
