Ada Lovelace discovered that a computer could follow a sequence of
instructions—that is, a program. 12-year-old Ada, who is
especially interested in mechanics, wants to invent a flying
machine - unfortunately, with no success. But the love for
machines is the foundation of Ada Lovelace's later friendship with
mathematician Charles Babbage, whom she meets at a reception when
she is 17.In 1843, Ada Lovelace became the first person to publish
what we would now call a computer program, a set of instructions
to calculate Bernoulli's Numbers, written for Charles Babbage's
unbuilt Analytical Engine.
