Ada Lovelace, a mathematician and writer, is credited with creating the first algorithm intended for processing on a computer, essentially making her the world's first computer programmer. Her work in the 1840s on Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine laid the groundwork for modern computing. Despite her monumental contributions, Lovelace's achievements were largely unrecognized during her lifetime.
