![]() ![]() Ada Lovelace never saw her work used, but it helped the first American computers a lot. The machine she made this algorithm for was never completed and the idea was forgotten until the notebooks were rediscovered in 1937. She came up with an algorithm that would calculate Bernoulli numbers which could change the state of a machine by using loops and if/else statements. ![]() ![]() Ada Lovelace was a young English mathematician. The very first person that history considers to be a software programmer is Ada Lovelace. There’s a lot to be said about this period in time with a lot of interesting history so let’s get into it. It started with a woman in 1842, leading up to software for very big and important computers in world war 2. Women were dominating the software development field once upon a time. I did some research, read books and articles, and decided to write a short condensed version of what happened to women in tech for everybody that wants to know. There’s a lot of history behind women in tech, how it was a female-dominated field at some point, and the big decline. Since 1984 there has been a huge decline in the number of women trying to get into Computer Science. Did you know that programming was once seen as a woman’s job? Not many people do but it is true. ![]()
