  1. Lovelace realized that the Analytical Engine could carry out an extensive sequence of mathematical operations. The example she wrote of one such sequence—how to calculate Bernoulli numbers—is regarded by computer historians as the first computer program.

  2. Feb 19, 2021 · By. Robert Longley. Published on February 19, 2021. Ada Lovelace (born Augusta Ada Byron; December 10, 1815- November 27, 1852) was an English mathematician who has been called the first computer programmer for writing an algorithm, or a set of operating instructions, for the early computing machine built by Charles Babbage in 1821.

  3. Ada was the first to explicitly articulate this notion and in this she appears to have seen further than Babbage. She has been referred to as 'prophet of the computer age'. Certainly she was the first to express the potential for computers outside mathematics. In this the tribute is well-founded.

    Ada Lovelace, an English mathematician and writer, is often referred to as “the first programmer” because she helped revolutionize the trajectory of the computer industry. She is considered the first person to recognize that computers had a much larger potential than mathematical calculation.

  5. Mar 25, 2024 · She saw mathematical machines like the Analytical Engine as more than just advanced calculators – instead, she envisioned them as tools to design music, produce graphics and solve complex problems. "That brain of mine is something more than merely mortal; as time will show."
