About Me
Hi! I'm Ada, Countess of Lovelace and am an English mathematician and writer, chiefly known for my work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine.
I am one of the first to recognize that machines have applications beyond pure calculation, and to have published the first algorithm intended to be carried out by such a machine.
In my free time I like to read about scientific developments, mathematics, and computational mathematics. I also like to take my chances of winning big.
Fun fact! I've been programing for 0 seconds!

Projects
The first computer program

algorithm](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cf/Diagram_for_the_computation_of_Bernoulli_numbers.jpg/220px-Diagram_for_the_computation_of_Bernoulli_numbers.jpg)
The world's first computer program for computing Bernoulli numbers.
The Analytical Engine

I helped Charles Babbage on topics ranging from math to computation that helped the development of the Analytical Engine.
The Ada programming language

slogan "Time-tested, safe and secure"](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/Ada_Mascot_with_slogan.svg/220px-Ada_Mascot_with_slogan.svg.png)
My work inspired the United States Department of Defense to name their new programming language after me.
