Do you love solving problems with mathematics? So did groundbreaking computer programmer Jean Bartik.

She turned her passion for math into a successful career in what was then a brand-new field. During World War II, women took on more technology jobs as men joined the armed forces.

After the war, a new machine took over these calculations.

It was the first all-electronic computer, and Bartik helped build and program it.

But how did Bartik's interest in mathematics take her to the forefront of cutting-edge technology?

Find out how she went from gifted student to software pioneer.
