Read the biography of Ada Lovelace and put the words below in the correct order to make up questions about this person.

The English mathematician Ada Lovelace is called "the first computer programmer" for writing an algorithm for a computing machine in the 19th century.

Ada Lovelace was born in 1815 in London. Her father was Lord Byron, a famous poet. When Ada was a child, her mother helped her to study maths, which was quite unusual for girls at that time. Ada was a smart and talented young girl.

Once, she met a famous mathematician Charles Babbage at a party. Babbage told her about his project of the Analytical Engine (a prototype of modern computers), and they started working on it together. Ada translated articles and added her own ideas, describing computing algorithms and formulas.

Ada Lovelace died of cancer at the age of 36 in 1852. It took people about a century to understand and appreciate her work. Nowadays, she is known as the first person to describe a simple computer and software.
