An ace programmer and the first US navy officer

Admiral Grace Murray Hopper was the first US navy officer and a computer scientist. She realized that with an easy programming language it would be easy for users who were neither mathematicians nor computer experts. This conviction led her to invent a popular programming language COBOL (Common  Business-Oriented Language), which is used in business and finance.
