Ada Lovelace (1815 - 1852)
English mathematician and writer;
daughter of the poet Lord Byron and
reformer Anne Isabella Milbanke;
chiefly known for her work with Charles Babbage and his
proposed mechanical general-purpose computer which
anticipated the essential features of modern electronic computers;
she was the first to point out the possibility of encoding information
besides mere arithmetical figures for pure calculation.
