British [[count]]ess and mathematician [[Ada Lovelace]] is often considered to be the first computer programmer.
She authored an [[algorithm]], which was [[Note G|published]] in October 1842, for calculating [[Bernoulli number]]s on the [[Charles Babbage]] [[analytical engine]].<ref name="Fuegi-Francis-2003">{{Cite journal|last1=Fuegi|first1=J.|last2=Francis|first2=J.|date=October–December 2003|title=Lovelace & Babbage and the creation of the 1843 'notes'|journal=IEEE Annals of the History of Computing|volume=25|issue=4|pages=16–26|doi=10.1109/MAHC.2003.1253887 |bibcode=2003IAHC...25d..16F }}</ref>
Because the machine was not completed in her lifetime, she never experienced the algorithm in action.
