The Brilliant Calculator: How Mathematician Edith Clarke Helped Electrify America
Jan Lower
Long before electronic calculators, Edith Clarke loved numbers, calculations, puzzles, and brainteasers. This picture-book biography follows her as she solves an electrical mystery and creates the first graphing calculator from paper. It also addresses the gender discrimination she faced in early-twentieth-century science and mathematics before she became the first woman electrical engineer in the United States.
