Ada Lovelace

Complete Biography, History and Inventions

Ada Lovelace was an English mathematician who wrote an algorithm for a computing machine in the mid-1800s. She has been called “the first computer programmer.”

Early life

Ada Locelace was born in England on December 10, 1815. She was the only legitimate child to the famous poet Lord George Gordon Byron.

First Computer Program

In June 1833, Lovelace was introduced to Charles Babbage through their mutual friend Mary Somerville. Later that month, Babbage showed Lovelace his prototype for his Difference engine.

What is Ada Lovelace known for?

Between 1842 and 1843, Lovelace translated Luigi Menabrea’s article on Babbage’s Analytical Engine. She published her notes on the Analytical engine, which ended up being 3x longer than the article itself.

Ada Lovelace Day

Ada Lovelace Day was founded by Suw Charmen-Anderson in 2009. It’s now scheduled every year on the second Tuesday of October.
