Ada Lovelace, also known as Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, and Augusta Ada Byron, is famous for being the first computer programmer, even though she never had a chance to work with an actual computer since she died in 1852. Instead she was a mathematician who programmed imaginary computers as people were dreaming of the potential of someday building computers. Even so, any computer program she created would still be a true computer program even if it could not be used as intended until decades later.

In 1843 she wrote about an algorithm for computing Bernoulli numbers by machine. Algorithms were not new, but no one had ever written one for use by machine before, since no computers had ever existed. It is considered the first computer program.

The programming language Ada is named after her.
