Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (10 December 1815 ā 27 November 1852), born Augusta Ada Byron, was an English writer chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer, the analytical engine. Her notes on the engine include what is recognized as the first algorithm intended to be processed by a machine; as such she is often[when?] regarded as the world's first computer programmer.[citation needed]
