RIP Ms. Johnson
"Without the precision of "human computer" Katherine Johnson, NASA's storied history might've looked a lot different. Her calculations were responsible for safely rocketing men into space and securing the American lead in the space race against the Soviet Union.
"For almost her entire life, her seminal work in American space travel went unnoticed. Only recently has Johnson's genius received national recognition.
Johnson, a pioneering mathematician who, along with a group of other brilliant black women, made US space travel possible, died this week. She was 101."

What an amazing woman. I want to watch the "Hidden Figures" movie about her and the other mathematicians. Has anyone seen it?

Mathematics is the language of nature and truth, and I have an abiding respect for anyone who masters it.
I myself had to struggle just to get a tenuous grasp on elementary calculus!

I’m glad she received the recognition she deserved before she died.

Same here. Bless her heart, and the hearts of the other women as well. She must have been brilliant.

I hear that! Math and I are not very friendly either.
