Ada showed her gift for mathematics at an early age. She translated an article on an invention by <a href="http://www.biography.com/people/charles-babbage-9193834">Charles Babbage</a>, and added her own comments. Because she introduced many computer concepts, Ada is considered the first computer programmer.
