Mathematician Katherine Johnson's calculations sent astronauts to the moon!🌕🧑🚀
She ran complicated equations to calculate the trajectory of spacecraft. She also worked directly with new, advanced digital #computers🚀

Since it's #NationalCodingWeek, we have to mention the incredibly talented Ada Lovelace!
Born in 1815, she was believed to be the first-ever computer programmer. She worked with inventor Charles Babbage to design a mechanical computer: the Analytical Engine👩💻

Love a little #mathsinart
It’s #ThrowbackThursday and we’re going back to 1968, when this #computerart was created by Lloyd Sumner!🖼️
He programmed a computer to draw these amazing shapes simply using code and his imagination!
He described himself as "an artist with a tool not a programmer with luck."🎨
ALT Lithographic print of 'Cedar Grove', 'Logisna's World' and 'Symphony G# In Fine Art Major' by Lloyd Sumner. It was exhibited in 1968 at 'Cybernetic Serendipity' in Virginia. Sumner may have been the first-ever computer artist. This copy was bought by Bob Hopgood in 1970. The V&A have many of Sumner’s creations in their collection.

Interesting to read how mathematical modelling can be used to study the effects of climate change.
What takes a mathematician to the Arctic?
For Oxford Mathematician @MikeJCoughlan, it's to observe melt ponds on sea ice so as to better model their evolution; modelling that will help plot changes in the region as it warms.

Thank you @DrFrostMaths for your wonderful resources! Feedback from Year 9 today included “I really like having the whiteboard on the screen to write down my method “
