'Admiral Grace Murray Hopper\r'

'Grace groundb each(prenominal) graduated from Vassar College in 1928 with Phi Beta Kappa and a Vassar College Fellowship. She went to Yale University, where she clear an M. A. in 1930, and a Ph. D. in 1934. She overly went to New York University as a Vassar staff Fellow in 1941. In declination 1943 she was sworn in, and in May 1944, she conjugate the U. S. Naval Reserve and attended the USNR Midshipman School. subsequent she was commissioned as a lieutenant and ordered to the Bureau of Ordinance enumeration Project at Harvard, this is where she learned to reckoner program calculating machines.\r\nIn 1946, she went to in ready duty, then was recalled to active duty August 1967. She was appointed on 8 November 1983 as Commodore; the title of that course of action changed to Rear full admiral on November 1985. She in addition was a senior mathematician at Eckert-Mauchly ready reckoner Corp. in Philadelphia, and programed the UNIVAC I, the first commercial large-scale e lectronic computing machine. She stayed untill when it was bought by Remington Rand and latter co-ordinated with Sperry Corporation. At her retirement ceremony on base the U. S. S. Constitution in Boston, Navy deposit John F. Lehmann Jr. resented Admiral grounder with the Distinguished Service Medal.\r\nMore than 40 colleges and universities have conferred honorary degrees on Admiral Hopper, and she has been honored by her on several(prenominal) occasions. She was the recipient of the first Computer Sciences â€Å" slice of the Year” award presented by the selective information Processing Management Association. Her entry in â€Å"Whos Who” requires 34 lines to thumbnail her accomplishments, appointments, and honors. Grace Murray Hopper worn-out(a) a lot of time tring to get up that something thats never been done before isnt impossible.\r\nThis get out Hopper to invent the first computer â€Å"compiler” in 1952. This software program do the first autom atic programming of computer language easier. Before, programmers had to release lengthy instructions in binary mark for either new piece of software. Because binary code consists solely of 0s and 1s, it was difficult for programmers to get done their long tasks without a lot of mistakes. Hopper knew there had to be a solution. She wrote a new program that helped software developers from having to write binary code.\r\nEach time the computer needed instructions that were common to all programs, the compiler would have the computer disturb to codes in its own memory. The compiler immense advance for the computer world. After this she also invented COBOL, the first user-friendly business software program. She retired in 1986 and was remembered for questioning the impossible. She had a Ph. D. in mathematics and physics from Yale University. In her office, she had a clock that ran counterclockwise as a reminder that most problems have more than than one solution.\r\n'
