Born as Creola Katherine Coleman on August 26th in 1918,

Katherine showed strong mathematical abilities from an early age.

She was a mathematician whose calculations of orbital mechanics as a NASA employee were critical to the success of the first and subsequent U.S. crewed spaceflights.

You know what?

How about I leave this big learning resource with you, from NASA where she did some of her greatest work?

They did write everything you know, have heard and do not know about this girl!

Even the mathematics hater in me, is truly inspired by you girl!

(Hihihi….)

She loved learning, followed her passion and kept on learning!
