Ada Lovelace wrote "a plan for calculating Bernoulli numbers with the Analytical Engine"[1] designed by Charles Babbage, and is therefore considered by some[Who says?] to be the world's first computer programmer.[2] In 1983, a team of researchers at United States Department of Defense designed a computer programming language named Ada.
Early Life
Although she was the only legitimate child of of the famous British poet Lord Byron, she had virtually no relationship with him, given his death when she was only nine years old.
