Augusta Ada Lovelace (a daughter of Lord Byron) translated Italian notes on Babbage's difference engine. She also wrote an appendix which was longer than the notes she had translated and included a method of calculating Bernoulli numbers with the engine. This method has been recognised as the first computer program. The programming language Ada is named in her honour.

Who is lady Augusta Ada Byron?

Lady Augusta Ada Byron, also called as Ada Lovelace, was an English mathematician. She was also a writer. She is often called as the first computer programmer who contributed to Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer and the Analytical Engine. The first algorithm was written by her on engine to be performed by a machine.

What machine was invented by Charles Babbage and Lady Augusta Ada Byron in 1883?

Charles Babbage (1791-1871) and Augusta Ada King, nee Byron, Countess of Lovelace (1815-1852) were both dead long before 1883 so they didn't invent any machine in that year. Babbage did design an Analytical Engine and Ada Lovelace (as she is better known) wrote an 1843 note on the engine which included what is now recognised as being the first algorithm intended for processing by machine. She is therefore regarded as being the world's first programmer. The algorithm itself was intended to calculate Bernoulli numbers. Babbage is also credited as being the father of the computer for his earlier work designing a Difference Engine and later work on Difference Engine No. 2. However, his designs were never built during his lifetime. Two working models of his designs for Difference Engine No. 2 were built from 1989 to 1991. The earlier design is privately owned by Nathan Myhrvold while the later design resides at the London Science Museum.
