the Analytical Engine - an engine created by Ada Byron (the Lady Lovelace) and a person named Babbage - Ada suggested to Babbage writing a plan for how the engine might calculate Bernoulli numbers. This plan, is now regarded as the first "computer program."

A software language developed by the U.S. Department of Defense was named "Ada" in her honor in 1979

In 1843 when Ada Augusta Countess of Lovelace wrote the first program for Charles Babbage's (never built) Analytical Engine while translating a description of the engine based on one of Babbage's lectures from the year before from French to English. Her program calculated the Bernoulli numbers.

Babbage developed some two dozen programs for the Analytical Engine between 1837 and 1840, but only recorded them in his notes and did not publish them.
