- msgilligan 13y agoHow was Hedy Lamarr a computer scientist? She was an intelligent and multi-talented woman, and yes she co-authored a patent for a frequency-hopping torpedo controlled by a piano roll. However, I don't think this qualifies her as a computer scientist. Clearly, no list would be complete without Grace Hopper, but putting Lamarr on the list, unless there's something I'm missing, would detract from Hopper's accomplishments.
