Augusta Ada (Byron) King, born 1815 in London, the only child of poet Lord Byron and Lady Byron, later titled Countess of Lovelace by virtue of 1835 marriage to William King, named Earl of Lovelace in in 1838, was an English mathematician and writer. Ada is mainly known for her work on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine, a proposed mechanical general-purpose computer. She was the first to see the machine as capable of more than calculation, and to have published the first algorithm intended to be executed by such a machine. Ada is often regarded as the first computer programmer. The Ada computer language was named after Lovelace. Ada died in 1852 at 36 years old.
