"Listen to Nature through Science"
3월 신학기와 4월 과학의 날을 맞이하여 "과학도서"를 소개합니다.
수학자 캐서린 존슨의 감동적인 실화입니다.
캐서린은 NASA에 근무하는 아프리카계 미국인 여성으로, 사람들의 편견과 차별의 벽에 부딪혔지만, 수학자로서의 자신의 길을 꿋꿋이 걸어갔습니다.
그 결과 미국 최초의 유인 우주 비행, 지구 최초의 유인 궤도, 세계 최초의 달 여행을 개척하는 데 큰 역할을 했습니다.
The inspiring true story of mathematician Katherine Johnson--made famous by the award-winning film Hidden Figures--who counted and computed her way to NASA and helped put a man on the moon!
Katherine knew it was wrong that African Americans didn't have the same rights as others--as wrong as 5+5=12. She knew it was wrong that people thought women could only be teachers or nurses--as wrong as 10-5=3. And she proved everyone wrong by zooming ahead of her classmates, starting college at fifteen, and eventually joining NASA, where her calculations helped pioneer America's first manned flight into space, its first manned orbit of Earth, and the world's first trip to the moon!Award-winning author Suzanne Slade and debut artist Veronica Miller Jamison tell the story of a NASA "computer" in this smartly written, charmingly illustrated biography.
