<p>This is the story of the first modern computer program and the extraordinary woman who wrote it, Klara von Neumann.</p><br><p>The program Klara wrote was a list of numbers eight hundred odd lines long. Gibberish to look at now but to the room-sized computer she was working with, it translated into a sophisticated set of instructions telling it how to map out the path neutrons would take inside nuclear bombs.</p><br><p>To mark International Women’s Day we’re going in search of Klara von Neumann and giving her the recognition she so richly deserves.</p><br><p>Dallas’s guest to make this happen is Ananyo Bhattacharya. Ananyo wrote a wonderful book about John von Neumann called<em> The Man from the Future</em> and has championed Klara and her work.</p><br><p>Edited by Stuart Beckwith, Produced by Freddy Chick, Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.</p><p><br></p>
