A summary of Grace Murray Hopper's technical contributions to computer science, covering her work on the Harvard Mark I/II/III computers, her creation of the first compiler (A-0 System) at UNIVAC, the development of FLOW-MATIC (the first English-keyword programming language), her foundational influence on COBOL, and her advocacy for software portability standards and code reusability. Hopper's work laid the groundwork for modern high-level programming languages and business computing.
