Ada Lovelace: first programmer of HIstory

BIOGRAPHY

Ada Augusta Lovelace Byron was born in London on December 10, 1815

She was the only legitimate daughter of the romantic poet Lord Byron, but her mother took her at one month old away from her father's home, and later her father died in Greece when Ada was 8 years old, so she did not know him.

Her mother, partly because she was trained in mathematics and partly resentful of the father and her poetic ravings, insisted that Ada received scientific training and distanced her from everything that had to do with literature or art.

Ada was very intelligent for mathematics, music, drawing and languages and received classes from very illustrious people such as William Frend, or Mary Somerville.

She met Charles Babbage in 1833, and was immediately very interested in the calculating machine he was building. Babbage helped him a lot to continue studying mathematics at the University of London.

She married in 1835 with William King, later Count of Lovelace, so she acquired the title of Countess of Lovelace. They had 3 children.

In 1852, Ada Lovelace died of uterine cancer.


INVENTION 
 
In 1843, Ada published a series of notes on the analytical machine of Babbage. This invention, which was never built, was the antecedent of the modern computer. But she not only took care of that task, she also made contributions to this research.
As stated in her writings, Ada interpreted the ideas of the proto-computer scientist and described a programming language whose contributions marked precedents in the history of computing.
