Programming 2 May 25, 2015 The Great Grace Hopper New York City is the place where Grace Hopper was born. Hopper was born in 1906. During the time period of World War II, Grace Hopper joined the U.S. Navy. To program the Mark I computer was assigned to Hopper. After the war, Grace Hopper keeps working on computer science, she was the leader of the team which created the compiler of the first computer language, gave birth to the COBOL, a popular language. At the age of 60, Hopper went back to the active naval

Grace Murray Hopper, one of the most astonishing women in the field of Computer Science to date. She has shaped the way we interpret computer programming and was a front runner for the field of Computer Science today. Grace Murray Brewster (maiden name) was born on December 9th, 1906 in New York City, New York. She completed her undergraduate studies at Vassar College where she studied mathematics and physics. Upon completed her undergraduate work, she proceeded to Yale University where she received

Grace Hopper is known as the mother of computer programming and a leading innovator of her time. Born Grace Brewster Murray on December 9, 2016, Grace grew up in an upper class family in Manhattan (Heath, 2011). She attended Vassar College in New York at the age of 17, and graduated in 1928 with a Bachelor’s Degree in math and physics (Isaacson, 2014). Two years later she would be the eleventh woman to graduate from Yale University with a Master’s Degree in Mathematics (Norman, 1997). She married

Grace Hopper's Traits Grace Hopper was an American Computer Scientist and U.S. Navy rear admiral. She was also known as the Queen of Computing, Queen of Coding, Admiral Grace, and more. She created the first compiler, a program, that translated human readable language into computer executable machine language. She was an example of creativity, intelligence, and perseverance. Grace Hopper believed that (We’ve always done it that way) was not always a good reason to continue

Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, also known as the “Grandmother of the Computer Age” was a remarkable woman who rose to the challenge of programming the first computer, Mark I. During her lifetime as a leader in the field of technology she founded the basis of modern-day computer language as we know it, essentially teaching computers to speak as well as contributing to the transition from primitive programming techniques to the usage of sophisticated compilers. Due to her extraordinary achievements in

Grace Hopper Brilliant Programmer and Pioneering Woman Hannah Parra Historical Paper Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, also known as the “Grandma COBOL” was a remarkable woman who took up the challenge of programming the first computer, Mark I. During her lifetime as a leader in the field of technology she founded the basis of modern-day computer language as we know it, essentially teaching computers to speak as well as contributing to the transition from primitive programming techniques to the

derivative of the “what is the purpose of my leadership” question asked by William George discussed in his article, “Note on why leaders lose their way” (2004, p.2). My leadership style is best illustrated by the following quote by Rear Admiral Grace Hopper (US Navy, retired): “you manage things, you lead people. We went overboard on management and forgot about leadership” (Schieber, 1987). I have fashioned my leadership style based on that quote as I have worked for my fair share of good leaders

Grace Murray Hopper was a twentieth century U.S. Navy rear admiral and computer science pioneer whose advancements in programming languages and computer testing standards have provided the foundations for today’s information age. Furthermore, Admiral Hopper’s accomplishments continue to inspire young women to explore skills and professions in current and emerging technologies. Grace Hopper was born December 9, 1906 in New York, New York. As a child, she found interest in taking various items apart

Admiral Grace Hopper Admiral Grace Hopper was a computer scientist and the first woman Rear Admiral in the United States Navy. Hopper invented the first compiler for a computer programming language, tackled the original computer bug and helped program the 1944 Harvard Mark 1 computer. Her outspoken support of machine-independent programming languages led to the creation of COBOL, one of the very first high-level computer programming languages. Admiral Grace Hopper’s quote, “You manage things, you

Many individuals have altered the way modern day programmers look at computers. Grace Hopper was a military leader, a mathematician, and a computer programmer. Like many other computer programmers, Hopper's work was not given the credit it deserved until the later years of her life. Hopper joined the United States Navy (USN) during World War II. During the time which Hopper was serving the USN she was assigned to program the IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator (ASCC). ASCC was an electromechanical
