Augusta Ada Byron King, Countess of Lovelace (1815-1852), born Augusta Ada Byron, was the only legitimate child of the poet Lord Byron. She is mainly known for having written a description of Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer, the analytical engine. She is today appreciated as the "first programmer" since she was writing programs for a machine that Babbage had not yet built. She also foresaw the capability of computers to go beyond mere calculating.
