<h1>Ada Lovelace</h1>
<p>
English mathematician, and the first to recognize that a
<b>calculating engine</b> had applications <em>beyond</em> pure number
crunching. Her notes on the Analytical Engine contain what is now considered
the first published algorithm intended for a machine.

<h2>Notes on the engine</h2>
<dl>
<dt>Note G</dt>
<dd>The Bernoulli-number routine — the algorithm itself.</dd>
<dt>Note A</dt>
<dd>Where the engine is distinguished from the Difference Engine.</dd>

<p>The Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns, just as the Jacquard loom
