Babbage owes a great debt to Lady Augusta Ada, Countess of Lovelace. Daughter of the famous romantic poet, Lord Byron, she was a brilliant mathematician who helped Babbage in his work. Above all, she documented his work, which Babbage never could bother to do. As a result we know about Babbage at all. Lady Augusta Ada also wrote programs to be run on Babbage’s machines. For this, she is recognized as the first computer programmer. Remember that guys. Women are just as talented as men when it comes to math, science, and engineering, and society should recognize that and do its utmost to encourage girls to get into these important and lucrative fields.
