Ada Lovelace was born on December 10, 1815. Her mother was a mathematician and social
activist and her father was a poet. When she was eleven years old, she dedicated herself to
studying mathematics and after a while she became obsessed with the idea of flying, so she
began to study everything related to the flight of birds and to build wings.
by 1843, she was a recognized mathematician, although she continued to sign her papers
with her initials for fear that because they were written by a woman they would be rejected.
She was the first programmer in history, her mechanical analytical machine allowed to
calculate any algebraic function and store numbers; the program was entered into the
machine using cards.
At twenty-nine she became seriously ill. After many years of suffering, Augusta Ada Byron
passed away in London on November 27, 1852.
