Ada Lovelace “was an English mathematician and chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage‘s early mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. Her work included the first algorithm intended to be carried out by a machine. Because of this, she is often described as the world’s first computer programmer.”
