Ada Lovelace
Mathematician
Ada Lovelace was an English mathematician who is known as the first computer programmer for writing the first algorithm for the Analytical Engine. She was a pioneer of computing science. She was also a writer.
Born on December, 10th 1815 in London, England Died on November, 27th 1852 in London, England

Her father, Lord Byron, was one of the greats of poetry, but his personality was unstable. Her mother, Lady Byron, was highly intelligent and was well-educated by private tutors. Ada’s father abandoned his wife and daughter, leaving Britain forever when Ada was one month old. He died in Greece when Ada was eight years old. Ada never met him. Ada’s mother, Lady Byron, seemed to have no affection for her daughter and had very little contact with her. The young girl was brought up by her maternal grandmother who died when Ada was just seven years old. Ada herself suffered from poor health during both childhood and adult life. Ada Lovelace had no access to formal school or university education, but studied science and mathematics from a young age. She was educated by private tutors. Ada was close to her math tutor, Mary Somerville. From 1832, when she was seventeen, her mathematical abilities began to emerge and her interest in mathematics dominated the majority of her life as a grown-up. Ada’s wedding at the age of 19 to William King led her to become Lady Ada King, Countess of Lovelace or Ada Lovelace.
When Ada Lovelace was a teenager, her mathematical talents led her to a long work relationship and friendship with the British mathematician Charles Babbage, "the father of computers", who created the Analytical Engine, the ancestor of the computers. Lovelace first met him in June 1833, through their mutual friend, Mary Somerville. She wrote about her dream computer which was never built. She realized that the computer could follow a series of simple instructions, a program or could perform a complex calculation. She created the first algorithm. As a result, she was often regarded as the first to recognize the full potential of a "computing machine" and the first computer programmer. She also developed a vision of the capability of computers to go beyond mere calculating such as listening to music, printing or creating graphics, while many others, like Babbage, focused only on those capabilities.
Ada Lovelace remains an inspiration to programmers around the world. Thanks to her, we all knew the important role of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Ada Lovelace’s work was published in an English science journal in 1843. This reflected a big achievement at a time when women were largely excluded from academic circles. In 1980, the Ada programming language was even named after her. She wrote two books which are Ada, the Enchantress of Numbers and Flyology. Nowadays, she still inspires women to become scientists.
