Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (1815-1852), daughter of George Gordon Byron, was an English mathematician and writer known mainly for her work on Babbage's analytical engine. Her notes are important in the early history of computers, so she is considered the world's first computer programmer.Naming citation (MPC batch dated 2013-04-25), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
