Women pioneers in computing

Post by nurnobi24 »

Daughter of the English poet Lord Byron , Ada Lovelace was a mathematician who worked on Charles Babbage's Analytical Machine so that it could perform calculations automatically. Babbage is considered “The Father of Computing” for conceiving the idea of ​​what a computer would be like, and he called Ada “The Enchantress of Numbers.”


Grace Hopper
A doctor in mathematics, in 1952 she developed the first compiler in history, the A-0, and in 1957 she created the first compiler that translated English instructions into a programming language, FLOW-MATIC, used for business operations of billing and payments.


Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler
She achieved fame as an actress and also for devising a method to send a signal to a guided missile that would change frequency every second in a synchronized manner so that it could not be intercepted, and her friend, the pianist George Antheil, proposed using the perforated paper of player pianos, which, having 88 keys, could use 88 frequencies and in this way be indecipherable.


Katherine Johnson
Since she was a child, she counted everything, from the steps she took to the dishes she cleaned. She went to work at NASA and in 1961 calculated the trajectory of the first suborbital gambling data taiwan phone number flight by an American, Alan Shepard. Her calculations were important for the first trip to the Moon.

Margaret Hamilton
Software engineer and mathematician. One of the programmers who wrote the software used by the United States Air Force to search for potentially hostile aircraft. In 1969, she wrote the code that allowed Apollo 11, and humans, to land on the Moon for the first time in history.


Angela Ruiz Robles
A writer and inventor, Ángela carried out several scientific projects, such as the scientific-grammatical atlas that contained information about Spain and the Spanish language in a fold-out format, and the shorthand machine that offered a new order of signs and characters for quick reading and easy translation into Spanish and other languages.


Mary Allen Wilkes
A geography teacher noticed that Mary Allen stood out for her logical mind, so he recommended that she work as a programmer. In 1961, she participated in the creation of the first personal computer, LINC, and years later she went down in history as the first person to use a personal computer at home and while working remotely.


Carol Shaw
She joined Atari for her programming skills, where she created the first video game by a woman called '3D Tic-Tac-Toe' in 1980. In 1982, River Raid was released under the name Carol Shaw for the Activision brand. The game sold millions and is considered one of the classic action games.


Katie Bouman
He led the creation of a new algorithm to produce the first-ever image of a black hole.
