Howard Aiken and Grace Hopper
Grace Hopper invented the Mark 1 computer and she invented the other series of the mark computers also.Wrong! Grace Hopper had nothing to do with design of the Harvard Mark I as she wasn't even there. Her first contact with it was several months after it was fully operating, when she was hired as its 3rd programmer.Howard Aiken designed the Harvard Mark I and IBM built it for him using Navy funds.Hopper did suggest and help design some upgrades to the Harvard Mark I and was influential on other Harvard Mark machines, but she invented none of them.Hopper did invent many software development methodologies on machines ranging from the Harvard Mark I to the UNIVAC I, including several compilers culminating in FLOW-MATIC, which was the major input used in defining COBOL.Note that there were several computers identified as Marl 1, not just the Harvard machine. A few examples are:Ferranti Mark 1, in Manchester England the first British commercial computerManchester Mark 1, the prototype for the Ferranti Mark 1ETL Mark 1, in Japan
Harvard Mark I
The Mark 1 or known as the Harvard Mark 1 was invented to help with the war efforts of World War II. Howard Aiken in 1937 presented the idea to IBM for development.

The woman who programmed the Harvard Mark I was Grace Hopper. She was a pioneering computer scientist and naval officer who played a significant role in the development of early computer programming languages. Hopper's work on the Mark I, as well as her contributions to the development of COBOL, made her a key figure in the history of computing. She is often credited with popularizing the term "debugging" for fixing computer glitches.
The IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator (ASCC), called the Mark I by Harvard University, was an electro-mechanical computer. The electromechanical ASCC was devised by Howard H. Aiken, built at IBM and shipped to Harvard in February 1944.
