John von Neumann is widely recognized not only as a mathematical genius, but as a seminal founder of the computer age. In contrast, the role of his wife, Klara Dan — the first person to write a modern computer program — remains woefully unappreciated. Join author Ananyo Bhattacharya, von Neumann's biographer, and Ingrid Daubechies, MoMath's Distinguished Visiting Professor for the Public Dissemination of Mathematics, for a fascinating discussion about the roles this remarkable couple played in catalyzing the development of the modern computer.
