The First Computer Programmer

welcome to My BLOG.......

 The First Computer Programmer Ada Lovelace

British mathematician Augusta Ada Byron, who after marriage became Countess of Lovelace and was better known simply as Ada Lovelace, was born in London on December 10, 1815. Check out 10 surprising facts about the pioneering woman often cited as the world’s first computer programmer.

 Ada Lovelace has been called the world's first computer programmer. What she did was write the world’s first machine algorithm for an early computing machine that existed only on paper. Of course, someone had to be the first, but Lovelace was a woman, and this was in the 1840s. Lovelace was a brilliant mathematician

 

Around the age of 17, Ada met Charles Babbage, a mathematician and inventor. The pair became friends, and the much older Babbage served as a mentor to Ada. Through Babbage, Ada began studying advanced mathematics with University of London professor Augustus de Morgan.
