Mathematician

Dorothy Vaughan

Ran NASA's segregated West Area computing unit, then taught herself and her staff Fortran so they would still have jobs when the machines arrived.

Dorothy Jean Johnson Vaughan was an American mathematician, human computer, computer programmer and schoolteacher who worked for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), and NASA, at Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. In 1949, she became acting supervisor of the West Area Computers, the first African-American woman to receive a promotion and supervise a group of staff at the center.
