    #BlackHistoryMonth is a great time to celebrate #mathematician & #geodesist Gladys West (née Brown 1930-2026). Shown with 3 satellites important to her career + tracks: Seasat, GEOS-3 & a GPS satellite. Her work, using math to precisely model the shape of Earth, laid groundwork for GPS!

    Born to sharecropper parents in Virginia, she graduated with a Math BSc in ‘52 then MSc at VSU in ‘55. 🧵
