Answer:
Grace Hopper led the development of COBOL, a programming language for business applications.
Explanation:
Grace Murray Hopper was born in 1906 in New York, United States. She graduated in Mathematics and Physics in 1928, completed her master's degree in 1930 and in 1934 completed her doctorate in mathematics.
In 1931, before finishing her doctorate, Grace Hopper was teaching math at Vassar College. In 1943, she joined the Navy. She graduated from Naval School as the first in the class and went to the programming team Mark I Computer of Harvard University's Bureau of Ships Computation Project. The Mark I is also known as the Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator.
The admiral also created a programming language called Flow-Matic, which served as the basis for Common Business Oriented Laguage (COBOL), a database processing-oriented language. Even though she was not directly involved in the development of this language, she is still called “COBOL Grandma”.
