It was Ada Augusta (1815-52), the daughter of Lord Byron, who had become the Countess of Lovelace when she married. She studied mathematics enthusiastically under the famous Augustus de Morgan. Lady Lovelace learned how the Analytical Engine worked from an English translation of an Italian report by L.F. Menabrea of a talk about it given by Charles Babbage in Turin in 1840.

the Analytical Engine - an engine created by Ada Byron (the Lady Lovelace) and a person named Babbage - Ada suggested to Babbage writing a plan for how the engine might calculate Bernoulli numbers. This plan, is now regarded as the first "computer program." A software language developed by the U.S. Department of Defense was named "Ada" in her honor in 1979
Charles Babbage
Lady Ada Augusta Countess of Lovelace wrote programs in 1842-43 for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine. However as the machine was never built she did not get to run them.
In 1842, Augusta Ada King-Noel, Countess of Lovelace, wrote an algorithm for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine to compute Bernoulli numbers. That engine was never completed so her algorithm was never tested. However, the Analytical Engine has since been recognised as an early model for a computer and her notes as a description of software. Whether her algorithm would have worked or not is impossible to tell, but she is nevertheless credited as being the first computer programmer.

In 1837, Charles Babbage, a British professor of mathematics described his idea for the Analytical Engine, the first stored-program mechanical computer. The Analytical Engine was designed to be powered by a steam engine and was to use Punched Cards, which was used to program mechanical looms at the time

Journal of Analytical Toxicology was created in 1977.
An analytical engine is a mechanical general-purpose computer which was designed and envisaged by Charles Babbage, but never built.
