Grace Hopper

United States naval officer and mathematician

Grace Hopper, in full Grace Murray Hopper, née Grace Brewster Murray (born December 9, 1906, New York, New York, U.S.—died January 1, 1992, Arlington, Virginia), American mathematician and rear admiral in the U.S. Navy who was a pioneer in developing computer technology, helping to devise UNIVAC I, the first commercial electronic computer, and naval applications for COBOL (common-business-oriented language).

After graduating from Vassar College (B.A., 1928), Hopper attended Yale University (M.A., 1930; Ph.D., 1934). She taught mathematics at Vassar before joining the Naval Reserve in 1943. She became a lieutenant and was assigned to the Bureau of Ordnance’s Computation Project at Harvard University (1944), where she worked on Mark I, the first large-scale automatic calculator and a precursor of electronic computers. She remained at Harvard as a civilian research fellow while maintaining her naval career as a reservist. After a moth infiltrated the circuits of Mark I, she coined the term bug to refer to unexplained computer failures.

In 1949 Hopper joined the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corp., where she designed an improved compiler, which translated a programmer’s instructions into computer codes. She remained with the firm when it was taken over by Remington Rand (1951) and by Sperry Rand Corp. (1955). In 1957 her division developed Flow-Matic, the first English-language data-processing compiler. She retired from the navy with the rank of commander in 1966, but she was recalled to active duty the following year to help standardize the navy’s computer languages. At the age of 79, she was the oldest officer on active U.S. naval duty when she retired again in 1986.

Hopper was elected a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (1962), was named the first computer science Man of the Year by the Data Processing Management Association (1969), and was awarded the National Medal of Technology (1991).

Debugging

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Debugging is the process of finding and resolving bugs or defects that prevent correct operation of computer software or a system.


Origin

The terms "bug" and "debugging" are popularly attributed to Admiral Grace Hopper in the 1940s. While she was working on a Mark II Computer at Harvard University, her associates discovered a moth stuck in a relay and thereby impeding operation, whereupon she remarked that they were "debugging" the system. However the term "bug" in the meaning of technical error dates back at least to 1878 and Thomas Edison (see software bug for a full discussion), and "debugging" seems to have been used as a term in aeronautics before entering the world of computers. Indeed, in an interview Grace Hopper remarked that she was not coining the term[citation needed]. The moth fit the already existing terminology, so it was saved.

I had last night as I was lying in bed trying to go to sleep probably the longest sense yet to date of what my body would feel as it was levitating in the air. The sense was probably just for a second or two and was not really earth shattering in terms of the strength but I remember it today. I suspect, and I guess I hope, that the sense is supposed to condition my mind for the impending emergence of my power of levitation flight.

For a second there, I thought I was going to float off the bed. For a brief time afterwards, I thought over how the sense would be to float around inside my apartment.

I have never watched this episode before until just now. There was a moth in my dream before I woke up this morning and got out of bed. I have thought about it several times today but did not want to write about it for various reasons. I think about it again now especially because of the "City of Lights" dialog and I think about how I have been thinking today that I was dreaming of a very realistic representation for a dream of me standing on the Jupiter moon Callisto. I will note a few other details later I have been thinking about today in relation to that observation and I am now trying to finish my next report.

Nereid: In Depth


Nereid is one of the outermost of Neptune's known moons and is among the largest. Nereid is unique because it has one of the most eccentric orbits of any moon in our solar system. Nereid is so far from Neptune that it requires 360 Earth days to make one orbit. This odd orbit suggests that Nereid may be a captured asteroid or Kuiper Belt object or that it was greatly disturbed during the capture of Neptune's largest moon Triton.

Discovery:

Nereid was discovered on 1 May 1949 by Gerard P. Kuiper with a ground-based telescope. It was the last satellite of Neptune to be discovered before Voyager 2's discoveries four decades later.

Nereid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, the Nereids are sea nymphs (female spirits of sea waters), the 50 daughters of Nereus and Doris, sister to Nerites. They often accompany Poseidon, the god of the sea, and can be friendly and helpful to sailors
