Women in STEM History - Ada Lovelace

Today’s Woman in STEM History is Ada Lovelace. She is generally considered to be the first ever computer programmer for her work translating and augmenting a french transcription of Charles Babbage’s seminar on his Analytical Engine. In her extra notes, she wrote an algorithm for computing Bernoulli numbers. Unfortunately the machine was never completed so her program was never tested.
