Katherine Johnson RIP

Have to confess I had to look her up. RIP

Remember reading about her a few years ago. Can't remember a film, CS. Was it a sort of documentary?

Hope her achievements can be a beacon for other young mathematicians especially females.

It was called Hidden figures, a good film what she and others working for NASA had to overcome in terms of racism even though they were far more intelligent than the ones being racist.

I first found out about her about 10 years ago when asking some sixth formers to research some female mathematicians once.

Cheers CS.
