Augusta Ada Byron
Another name of Ada Lovelace
Ada was an enthusiast for maths and computers
She was the one who created the first computer code
The first computer programmer
She was an associate of Charles Babbage
Not only success she had in her journey of life
But this journey of life had many difficult problems
Problems made this journey an adventure
Adding more and more twists to it
Looks interesting in hearing
But has much more to it and she has faced it
She also invented the first algorithm for a machine
She invented this in the 1800s
Ada didn’t win any awards in her lifetime
And her contributions were largely ignored
Till the 1950s
At that time Ada’s role in the
Birth of computer programming was finally recognized
In the year of 1843 Lovelace translated
A French paper that an Italian mathematician
Luigi Menabrea wrote about the Analytical Engine
Ada added a thousand of words
Of her own notes to the paper
She realised that the Analytical Engine
Would carry out an
Extensive sequence of mathematical operations
Ada Lovelace Day is celebrated annually
On the second Tuesday of October
This day is celebrated annually
To celebrate and raise awareness of the contributions
Of women to STEM fields
She was not only a contributor to Mathematics
But also the Founder of Scientific Computing
Born on 10 December 1815
And died at the age of 36
Ada Lovelace is buried inside the
Church of St. Mary Magdalene in the
Small English town of Hucknall
Her coffin was placed side by side
With that of her father,
Who also passed away at the age of 36
As said in the honour of Ada Lovelace Day
That the brain of yours is something more than merely mortal
As time will show
