Margaret Hamilton

Margaret Hamilton was the lead software engineer for Project Apollo.

It had long been tradition that operating calculating machines was “women’s work”; it was thought to be just keypunching, like typing. Women programmed and operated the punchcard machines to produce calculations for the Manhattan Project. Despite the tendency of the project physicists to minimize their contribution, this was demanding work, much more than just moving cards from slot to slot,  they were usually given requirements from the tech people, but often designed the approach and set up the calculations themselves.

Margaret Hamilton earned her BA in math from Earlham College, but obviously learned about programming on the job,  there was no other way. In the photo above, she is standing in front of the printouts of the code for the Apollo guidance system, a lot of which she wrote and which she oversaw.

A spreadsheet is : A document type that allows manipulating numeric and alphanumeric data arranged in tables composed of cells which are often organized into a two dimensional array of rows and columns.

The cell is the basic unit of information in the spreadsheet, where values and formulas that perform calculations are inserted. Usually it is possible to perform complex calculations with formulas and functions to draw different types of graphs.
