WORDPLAY:  Brilliant Hidden Figures

Happy New Year.  It is January 15th, 2017, and this is a magnificent evening for my first post of the year. I usually post on the 15th of each month, and today is my 15th entry since I began this WordPlay blog.  That is indeed a milestone, but today holds special significance, not only because it is the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday, but my beloved sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, was founded on this day in 1908.  I was not intending to write about this personal nugget of my life, in fact I changed my subject matter at least ten times, several times while I typed right up against my deadline tonight.  However, in view of the fact that Hidden Figures is number one at the box office for the second week in a row, it only made sense that all these stars would align for me to acknowledge the three amazing Alpha Kappa Alpha women upon whom the movie is based: Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson.  The film recounts the story of the West Area Computers division of the Langley Research Center, a segregated computing pool of all-black female mathematicians. This unit processed aeronautical research data and participated in calculating flight trajectories for Project Mercury, the first human spaceflight program for the United States.  

Dorothy Vaughan, a mathematician, came to the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory in 1943.  She later became the head of the West Area Computing Unit for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics’ (NACA’s).  She managed this unit from 1949 until 1958, when the NACA made the transition to NASA, the National Aeronautics & Space Administration, and all segregated facilities were abolished. Vaughan was one of NACA’s few female supervisors, and NASA’s first African-American supervisor.  Mary Jackson came to the laboratory at Langley in 1951, where she was supervised by Vaughan in the computing pool for two years.  She was offered an opportunity to  become an engineer, and upon completion of a rigorous training program, she was promoted from mathematician to engineer in 1958, becoming NASA’s first black female engineer. Katherine Johnson, a mathematician and astrophysicist, came under Vaughan’s supervision in the summer of 1953, and she temporarily assigned Johnson to a project in the Maneuver Loads Branch of the Flight Research Division.  This assignment was critical in Johnson’s legacy as this position became permanent, and she spent the next four years analyzing data from flight test, and the investigation of a plane crash caused by wake turbulence.  As a result of her work, calculations, research and writings, she did trajectory analysis for Project Mercury, Alan Shepard’s May 1961 mission Freedom 7, America’s first human spaceflight.  

In 1962, as NASA prepared for the orbital mission of John Glenn, Johnson was called upon to do the work that she would become most known for.  By this time, NASA had begun using electronic computers programmed with the orbital equations that would control the trajectory of Glenn’s capsule from blast off to splashdown, and a communications network was created for the mission by linking international tracking stations. Glenn specifically requested that Johnson verify, by hand on her computing machine, the same numbers and equations that had been programmed into the computer to ensure that his flight would be successful.  As a result, John Glenn became the first American astronaut to make a complete orbit of Earth. In fact, Katherine Johnson’s calculations proved as critical to the success of the Apollo Moon landing program and the start of the Space Shuttle program, as they did when the United States began its first forays into space.  On November 24, 2015. Katherine Johnson, the last living member of these three dynamic, brilliant and pioneering women, was bestowed the nation's highest civilian award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, by President Barack H. Obama.

While this post may not be what I normally share, I would have been remiss  to not acknowledge these awe-inspiring members of Alpha Kappa Alpha on our Founders’ Day, who are also amazing women in American history.  They went about the business of advancing the American Space Program while doing so in a segregated, discriminatory and oppressive society.  The irony of these women helping mankind fly into orbit while living in an America that diligently worked to clip their wings and keep their personal dreams grounded, should not be lost on us.  The brilliance of Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson would not be denied, and like the men they sent into space, they soared into the annals of history.

📐✨ Let's Talk Math: Harnessing Mathematics for Modeling in Quantitative Disciplines! 📈🔍

Hey there, Tumblr fam! Today, let's explore the fascinating world where mathematics meets quantitative disciplines, creating a powerful toolkit for modeling and analysis. 🌟

🧮 The Language of Science: Mathematics is like the universal language of science, providing a structured framework to understand and interpret the world around us. Whether it's in physics, economics, biology, or beyond, math serves as the backbone of quantitative disciplines.

📊 Modeling Complex Systems: Ever wondered how scientists predict weather patterns, economists forecast market trends, or biologists simulate population dynamics? It's all about creating mathematical models that capture the intricate relationships within complex systems. These models help us make sense of data, uncover patterns, and make informed decisions.

🔬 Quantitative Finance: In the realm of finance, mathematics plays a crucial role in modeling risk, pricing derivatives, and optimizing investment strategies. From Black-Scholes equations to stochastic calculus, math provides the tools to navigate the unpredictable world of financial markets.

🔍 Data Science and Machine Learning: With the rise of big data, mathematics has become indispensable in the field of data science and machine learning. Algorithms rooted in mathematical principles help analyze vast datasets, uncover insights, and train predictive models that drive innovation across industries.

🌐 Interdisciplinary Collaboration: The beauty of mathematics is its versatility—it seamlessly integrates with other disciplines to tackle complex real-world problems. Whether it's combining biology and mathematics to understand ecological systems or merging computer science and mathematics for cutting-edge AI research, interdisciplinary collaboration fuels progress.

🎨 Creativity and Innovation: At its core, mathematics is a creative endeavor. It's about exploring patterns, discovering connections, and finding elegant solutions to intricate problems. By harnessing the power of mathematics, we unlock new possibilities and drive innovation forward.
