Margaret and the Moon

Dean Robbins, illustrated by Lucy Knisley

This is the story of Margaret Hamilton, whose early interest in numbers led her to study algebra, geometry, and calculus. Her work took her to MIT and NASA, where she wrote computer code for spacecraft systems. That code was designed to help the computer respond to problems it might encounter and was instrumental to Apollo mission flights. The book connects mathematics, programming, and lunar exploration.
