<h3>who was Ada Lovelace?</h3>
<li>sole child of poet George Gordon and his mathematics-loving wife Annabella Milbanke</li>
<li>her mother raised her under a strict regimen of science, logic, and mathematics</li>
<li>in 1833, Lovelace’s mentor introduced her to Charles Babbage</li>
<li>they both had somewhat unconventional personalities and became close and lifelong friends</li>
<h3>the analytical engine</h3>
<li>it combined the array of adding gears of Babbage's earlier Difference Engine with an elaborate punchcard operating system</li>
<li>Lovelace sketched out programs for an engine and earned her the title of “the first computer programmer”</li>
<li>her notes became one of the critical documents to inspire Alan Turing’s work on the first modern computers</li>
<h3>11 October 2016 is Ada Lovelace Day</h3>
