Why isn't Katherine Johnson in the discussion

of being one of the greatest scientists/mathematicians ever

she calculated rocket trajectories, by hand

BY HAND


racism?

her achivements is on the level of Einstein and Von Neumann

>computing numbers is comparable to deriving theorems and the underlying principles of the universe

Because it's not real.

ok maybe not as great as einstein

but she is von neumann tier

But arenMt a majority of Von Neumann's works completely useless? Read several of his works in economics and it was interesting theoretically but also wrong theorically and practically

...

>Read several of his works in economics and it was interesting theoretically but also wrong theorically and practically

It's actually the exact opposite. Von neumanns work opened up entirely new branches of economics

you do realize that von neumann is responsible for mathematical game theory

>Not as great as a popmeme brainlet
>But she is a literal eldergod

Not sure what you mean by this

she calculated rocket trajectories BY HER HAND

what has Von Neumann done to be even close to that?

She was a good calculator but she doesn't even come close to Einstein or Neumann.

Father Monte Carlo methods(massive used on computation,physics,stats,simulation),Ergodic theory,operator theory build math foundation quantum mechanic.

But most people know works on computer as suggest ALU based compute and some memory compute architecture are best way build computer plus create merge sort.

Neumann couldn't do rocket calculation like she could

i thought the monte carlo method was done by ulam?

Ulam theory, von system code

can you explain?

?

>did basic calculations by hand
Okay?
I bet most physics/math graduate students could do the same just as easily.

Considering that user posts like some sort of shit AI, no.

>most impressive
Coming up with the theories
>second most impressive
Programming something to make use of those theories
>least impressive
Doing the calculations themselves

You sure that's a woman?

>Computed calculations other people told her to compute using methods other people discovered
>Computed calculations other people told her to compute
>Computed calculations

So she's basically the equivalent of an applied math grad student, but a long time ago

kys OP

Why are all smart black people at least half white? She's clearly at least 3/4th white.

>That Bill Nye Quote


The irony, the poor man has truly gone mad.

wasn't von neumann's most famous achievement, game theory


proven wrong, because people are not always perfectly rational

The Nye quote and Dawkins quotes are actually very reasonable.

Do you praise your calculator for being smart?

This.

She did the least creative part.

The only reason that she could calculate rocket trajectories is because Tommy Lee Jones' character in Men In Black is based off of her life. She was given the formulas by extraterrestrials from another dimension.

Agreed, von neumann is shit

Exactly.

look OP i get you watched that shity movie hidden figures but there were around 6 other people who did the exact same job as her and no one at NASA actually gave a shit whether or not she used the "white" bathroom. The movie over blows slight problems that she may have faced. but she was quite well respected by most of her fellow data analysts/ mathematicians. And her work was as special as the movie makes it seem... as in any applied maths grad could do it.

> plug'n'play

why do people praise Einstein's General Relativity more so than Katherine's work?
