Augusta Ada Byron King, Countess of Lovelace (December 10, 1815 London, England - November 27, 1852 Marylebone, London, England , born Augusta Ada Byron, is mainly known for having written a description of Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer, the analytical engine. She is also known as the "first programmer", though she might more accurately be described as the first publisher of a program, as she published a program written by Babbage. She was also a keen promoter of computing seeing how influential its possibilities, though unrealized as yet, might be.
Passages from the Life of a Philosopher (1846): " I then suggested that she add some notes to Menabrea's memoir, an idea which was immediately adopted. We discussed together the various illustrations that might be introduced: I suggested several but the selection was entirely her own. So also was the algebraic working out of the different problems, except, indeed, that relating to the numbers of Bernoulli, which I had offered to do to save Lady Lovelace the trouble. This she sent back to me for an amendment, having detected a grave mistake which I had made in the process.
