Calling Ada Lovelace's program to compute Bernoulli numbers "the first published algorithm" is slightly odd choice of wording, since mathematical algorithms have existed long before there were machines to mechanically compute them. Euclid's algorithm for computing greatest common divisors of integers, from his work Elements circa 300 B.C. is sometimes called the oldest surviving(?) algorithm in writing. Nevertheless, very exciting article about a very special visionary.
