1. The title of the article I read is “Meet the people behind the film Hidden Figures”. The author is Gerri Miller, and it was published on August 24, 2017.
2. The article “Meet the people behind the file Hidden Figures” by Gerri Miller is about the people who helped the set up the mathematical side of the movie Hidden Figures – a movie about three African-American women who were behind the calculations that launched John Glenn into orbit around the Earth. The article talks about how all the mathematical statements and background information mentioned in the movie, including flashbacks and calculations, were true. The author also talked about the people who were behind the mathematics such as professor Rudy Horne that helped teach the actresses the correct math so they could play their role correctly the movie. Along with the college professor, a historian was brought in to correct the facts. This made …show more content…
One way this field could be explored to extend the research done is too explore it through the advancement of technology. When the calculations were actually being solved, there was no technology to do this type of complex math. Today, there are. At the time, the artificial way of solving equations did not exist for NASA to use them, so they used the power of the human brain. If we were to extend this research/field, we could combine the human brain as well as advancing technology to extend the research done.
6. Three “power words” mentioned in the article include aerospace, wind tunnel, and PhD. The word aerospace was used in the article was used to describe a type of engineer who studies the Earth’s atmosphere, or travel to space beyond. The word wind tunnel was used to describe the setting of a character in the movie, and how it could have been inaccurate to have a character stand in it. The word PhD was used in the article in a way that described the level of degree (doctorate) that Nash Stevenson got in Physics as the African-American to do so in her
