Homonym: Ада (Fire)
Ада, also known as Ada Lovelace, was a mathematician and writer, recognized as one of the first computer programmers. Born in 1815, she worked on Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. Her notes on the engine included what is considered the first algorithm intended for implementation on a machine.
Her contributions laid the groundwork for modern computing, and she is celebrated for her visionary ideas about the potential of computers beyond mere calculation. Today, the programming language Ada is named in her honor, reflecting her lasting impact on technology and computer science.
