00:00In the 19th century, Ada Lovelace worked on the ideas of Charles Babbage, who imagined a mechanical machine capable of performing
00:06calculations.
00:07In 1843, she published notes on the analytical engine, including an algorithm for calculating Bernoulli numbers.
00:13This machine was not completed during his lifetime, but his reflections go beyond simple arithmetic calculation.
00:19She envisions a machine that can manipulate symbols according to rules.
00:23Ada Lovelace is thus considered a pioneering figure in computing, well before the advent of electronic computers.
