Subject: [COFF] In memoriam: Ada Lovelace
Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2019 15:22:14 +1100 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.21.9999.1911271521530.33542@aneurin.horsfall.org> (raw)
Augusta Ada King-Noel, Countess of Lovelace, was lost to us in 1852 from
uterine cancer. Regarded as the first computer programmer and a mathematical
prodigy (when such things were unseemly for a mere woman), she was the daughter
of Lord Byron, and a friend of Charles Babbage.
