Ada Lovelace
The daughter of famed poet Lord Byron, Augusta Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace - better
known as “Ada Lovelace” - was born in London on December 10, 1815. Ada showed her
gift for mathematics at an early age. She translated an article on an invention by Charles
Babbage, and added her own comments. Because she introduced many computer
concepts, Ada is considered the first computer programmer. Ada died on November 27,
1852. She was buried, at her request, next to her father at the church of St. Mary
Magdalene, Hucknall, Nottingham.
Ada Lovelace’s contributions to the field of computer science were not discovered until the
1950s, Ada has received many posthumous honours for her work. In 1980 the U.S.
Department of Defence named a newly developed computer language “Ada” after
Lovelace.
