How the First Computer Programmer Was a Woman

In 1843, a young mathematician named Augusta Ada Byron, better known as Ada Lovelace, published what is now considered the first computer program — over a century before the first electronic computer was built. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how Lovelace translated Charles Babbage's theoretical Analytical Engine into a visionary set of instructions for calculating Bernoulli numbers, why her work was largely forgotten for a century, and how she foresaw machines composing music and processing symbols — not just crunching numbers. We also discuss the discovery of her notes and the eventual recognition of her role as the world's first programmer. A story of mathematics, poetry, and a mind far ahead of its time. #AdaByron #Ada Lovelace #CharlesBabbage #AnalyticalEngine #BernoulliNumbers #FirstProgrammer #ComputerHistory #VictorianComputing #ScientificComputing #WomenInSTEM #WomenInTech #Mathematics #LovelaceDay #Technology #History #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
