The first initiative in history, Lady Lovelace

After separation and only a month old, Ada was taken by her mother at his grandparents' house in Kirby Mallory and although English law was entitled to custody of children to their grandparents in case of separation, Byron attempted to claim his parental rights. Three months later, Byron signed the deed of separation and left England.

During his private studies of mathematics and science had as one of his tutors to Augustus De Morgan, the first professor of mathematics at the University of London.

As a self-taught horseback riding, gymnastics and dance. He went to his 17 years, during a conference of Dionysus Lardner on June 5, 1833, who knew about the work of Charles Babbage, who occupied the Lucasian chair at Cambridge University.

Babbage, considered the father of computer-impressed with the way she understood the computer became his tutor and later worked together.

Ada wrote the manipulation of symbols, deduced and predicted the ability of computers to go beyond the calculations, developed concepts in programming language and set of instructions that allow others to repeat in a loop.

She married at age 19 to William King, Earl of Lovelace. Her married name became Lady Ada Augusta since Byron King, Countess of Lovelace, whose name comes the modern name or "The Enchantress of Numbers" (the lovely numbers), as Babbage called.

Today it is considered the first person to describe a programming language in general, in his notes, Augusta Ada says that the "analytical engine" could only make available information that was already known: he saw clearly that it could lead to knowledge.

In 1843 he published an influential series of notes on Babbage's computer, his "Analytical Engine" which was never built, although signed with his initials for fear of being censored for being a woman and a distinctly modern name for the time was called to herself, "analyst."
