I looked this up quickly, because I thought it would be cool to tell my daughter that she shares a birthday with this woman. You're actually a day late. Amazing woman either way.

Truly amazing what she could do.

The movie "Hidden Figures" is simply one of the best biopics ever....all the women who did maths at that level, in the past, under such discriminatory circumstances should be remembered. They were as important to the Space Race as the astronauts were.

What those ladies did with just there brains is amazing . Today tools, it seems like, are needed but there's gotta be some people out there who could do similar calculations. I, unfortunately , usually have to think longer and harder now and do it several times to make sure my grocery list or checkbook balances.

I am reading the book Hidden Figures. Fascinating. What we did before everyone had a calculator in their pocket.

The movie ‘Hidden Figures’ about her and her colleagues was excellent.

Her acknowledgement is way overdue .
