THREE WORKS BY GRACE HOPPER, "PROBABLY THE SINGLE-MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE EARLY HISTORY OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES," INCLUDING HER EXPLANATION OF THE FIRST COMPILER in "The Education of a Computer" (Extraordinary Women in Science & Medicine p 126). In this paper "Hopper discussed the compiling routines (such as A-0) and other programming tools then being developed at Remington-Rand so that 'the programmer may return to being a mathematician' (p 244). She also expressed her views on computing and programming in general, anticipating a number of future developments: that programming—i.e., software—would become more expensive than hardware, and that computer programming would have commercial as well as mathematical applications" (OOC 662).
The second work contains the proceedings of what appears to be THE FIRST SYMPOSIUM SPECIFICALLY ON SOFTWARE which Hopper organized and for which she gave the first paper, "Automatic programming—definitions." Hopper was a Session Moderator for the Symposium treated in the last title, held at the Franklin Institute in January, 1957. Origins of Cyberspace 439, 662, 665.
