Ada Lovelace, English Mathematician

Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (December 10, 1815 - November 27, 1852) was an English mathematician and writer. As a young adult, her mathematical talents led her to an ongoing working relationship and friendship with fellow British mathematician Charles Babbage, and in particular Babbage's work on the Analytical Engine. Between 1842-43, Ada translated an article by Italian military engineer Luigi Menabrea on the engine, supplementing it with an elaborate set of notes. These notes contain what many consider to be the first computer program, an algorithm designed to be carried out by a machine. Painting by Margaret Sarah Carpenter, 1836.
