The countess Mother of programing at Makenow.

If Alan Turing is considered the father of modern computing, it is indisputable that Countess Ada Lovelace was the mother — and she also came first. Long before the British mathematician formalized the concept of an algorithm by creating the Turing Machine, which opened the door to creating the computers we use today, the only legitimate daughter of the famous poet Lord Byron and his wife Baroness Byron was far ahead. of her time, either for her great achievements in data science, as well as for her drinking and gambling behavior—unusual habits for women at the time.

Encouraged by her mother to study mathematics, in the hope of staving off the development of the “insanity” of her father, an icon poet of Romanticism, Lovelace took classes with Augustus De Morgan, the first professor of mathematics at the University of London - an institution that was the first of the England to allow graduation for women, which did not happen until 26 years after Ada's death.

In his youth, together with scientist Charles Babbage, he contributed to the design of the Analytical Engine, the first in history that could be programmed to execute certain commands. But the young woman went far beyond the possibilities of the object and what Babbge had imagined. Between 1842 and 1843, she supplemented an Italian article on creation, adding several notes that in turn turned out to be longer than the original study. Within these observations, she proposed an algorithm to be processed by machines, being considered the first computer program
