Ada Lovelace’s real name and title was Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace. In some of her notes, she proposed an algorithm for Babbage’s machine to compute Bernoulli numbers. This algorithm is recognized by many as the world’s first computer program and so Lovelace is sometimes called the first “computer programmer”.
