This volume contains the proceedings of the First Workshop "Matemáticos Mexicanos Jóvenes en el Mundo", held from August 22-24, 2012, at Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas (CIMAT) in Guanajuato, Mexico. One of the main goals of this meeting was to present different research …
Traces the pivotal achievements of the elite female science recruits at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where in the mid-20th century they transformed rocket design and enabled the creations of the first American satellites.
During World War II, when the newly minted Jet Propulsion Laboratory needed quick-thinking mathematicians to calculate jet velocities and plot missile trajectories, they recruited an elite group of young women--known as human computers--who, with only pencil, paper, and mathemat…
