For what little it's worth, having studied mathematics, it's possible that you may have never heard about (sorry, don't remember the names) supervisor or the engineer. But it's a shame that you were never taught about Katherine, the mathematician. You'd think that given the rather PC nature of college campuses these days, a true American hero like Katherine would have been properly honored and her story told within the math community.

Leonard Euler, whose method is shown in the film, said, "I soon found an opportunity to be introduced to a famous professor Johann Bernoulli... True, he was very busy and so refused flatly to give me private lessons; but he gave me much more valuable advice to start reading more difficult mathematical books on my own and to study them as diligently as I could; if I came across some obstacle or difficulty, I was given permission to visit him freely every Sunday afternoon and he kindly explained to me everything I could not understand … and this, undoubtedly, is the best method to succeed in mathematical subjects." Tutors and books, faster ways of absorbing mathematical knowledge, is what Euler seems to argue, at least in my opinion, is perseverance and time as well as questioning and receiving the information put in front of you. You do as easily as breathing what you do with every breath. Source: www.maa.org/press/periodicals/convergence/euler-and-the-bernoullis-learning-by-teaching-introduction

​@@dublinjazz1I used to think the same. Until i actually started putting in more effort. I have ADHD and a mild case of Dyslexia. Learning it when i was younger was an absolute pain and caused me some trouble in my personal life. My father had dug his way out of poverty by using simply by excelling at Math and him realizing he couldn't teach me this subject, caused a rift between us. It made me hate Math. For the longest time i thought i was stupid in the subject, like i would really excell at everything else like Science, Language, PE, etc, Math was the only exceptions. Me constantly thinking like a failure because of it made me drop out of college. So i went to work instead. Eventually realized after working for 3 years that i wanted a degree, so i went back in. What i realized when i went into college, older and more experienced in life was that i didn't really hate Math. I just had to learn it differently. Some people could figure it out just using numbers, i realized i had to convert the stuff into things more understandable to me. I did it pretty fast too. For example when i was young learning fractions, i hated it, when i was learning ratios, i didn't like it. But when i got older, i realized i can just convert the fractions into ratios and use 100% as my base and it worked. It was more work than necessary but it made sense to me so i just kept doing it. So whenever i had to learn other stuff, i just kept trying to find ways to convert things in my head to make it more understandable to me. It made me realize, you really can't teach one kid the same way you can teach others. Teachers have to adapt to the kid's learning patterns and that's how they'll figure out how to excell. My dad was teaching me in the same way he learned it, the scholastic way, and also under pressure. When i figured out how i processed stuff in my head, it got easier and i realized i actually liked Math because it made sense. Watching YT stuff about old Math, i found out that the way they taught Math before is not the same way we teach Math now. Like there is a drastic difference. An extra step or two added or reduced, but the results are the same. To me, it highlighted the weaknesses of the scholastic system. Where it's just designed to churn out hundreds of individuals of the populace every year with required amount of knowledge to continue to the next. It doesn't completely or in alot of cases totally ignores needs of the individuals themselves. They don't care if you learn, they just care you get a passing overall grade, even if just barely.

Maths can be devastatingly elegant. With Pythagoras Theorem, a few simple lines can prove that the theorem is correct for the infinite number of right angled triangles. I did not understand everything that I was taught but, when I did, it was beautiful.

The ENTIRE MOVIE and every actor/actress in it, especially this one, deserves an Academy Award in my book. I love that movie! This particular scene is exceptional in the way that it forecasts the future. Want your financial management done right? Go get a woman! She can get the work done right and throw the trash out, too! Yes, she can; yes, she did!

Saw the movie today and it was amazing 😁.

I love that movie and have watched it several times. I'm glad these excellent women finally got some of the recognition they deserved - although way too late. How they figured all that stuff out with "math that doesn't exist yet" is beyond me.

My eye full with tears of respect & honor for these and all the woman that set history this needs to be taught in all our schools in the world.

Fantastic movie and loved at the end when they showed the real women and what happened to each of them after the timeline of the movie ended. No computers to rely on, no calculators, just incredible talent. I am in awe of such people as I don't have these skills by a long shot. It's even more impressive that these ladies of color excelled in their areas. If it weren't for NASA, would anyone appreciate the genius of these ladies due to the color of their skin? Again, fantastic movie.

I like how Katherine reached for the chalk with zero hesitation. One brilliant ballsy badass bird

Loved this movie very much. Perfect examples of what is is to be a strong woman. Though the focus was on these 3 ladies ( in every sense of the word)....and indeed they deserve it... I remember thinking ALL of the women in that group were highly intelligent or they wouldn’t have been there in NASA. So a big shout out to them as well. Your story deserves to be told and inspire the generations to come.

I adore competent people and that woman is one of the best... pure gold

What a wonderful movie, I had heard they people made the calculation but didn’t realize the struggle these incredible women had to go through.

It's amazing to think that many people today have never held that thing called 'chalk'. There are many people today who are brilliant, in one way or another, but history is not writing about you. You are not alone, and you can accept your greatness.

In this case "the system" as you call it is NASA and Langley giving them jobs and opportunities. The women just took advantage of those chances and the system recognized them. The main conflict with the ladies seemed to be the one husband and the other boyfriend. Sure, they made amalgamations of some characters to show passive aggressiveness and what not. The theme of that was narrowed down to black and white but it's really more about how academia works and people try to defend their turf. It's a weird concept if you've never seen it happen. From the first scene, you'll realize this isn't the typical '60s film but about Americans all coming together to get an important job done. "Seeing Beyond".

How can someone have that brilliant of a mind? Amazing!!!

This was an excellent movie. My wife, mother-in-law and I saw this movie 6 times. This was one of the movies we saw when my wife was fighting cancer. I lost her 6 months into the pandemic.

I love this movie. I can not even begin to grasp how these ladies minds work. But I am so grateful for what they accomplished, and that I have lived to see it. It is disgraceful that I had to live to be an old man to learn of these amazing women. To grow up learning about the men we put into those capsules and made into hero's is fine, but to learn of the women who put them there , that's amazing. I'm old enough to remember the old saying, "The Woman Behind The Man." These are the women that were behind the start of the first, "Man On The Moon."

I got myself all the way from math 60 to successfully passing statistics 245. It involved a lot of studying and a lot of hours spent on my own working problem after problem. I absolutely lived for almost two years in the math tutoring lab at my community college. If I had a free hour I was probably going to be found there studying. The tutors were not afraid to order me to take a break if I'd been in there for more than three or four hours at a stretch. I would often sit class in the morning go to work in the afternoon and come back in the evening to study for another 3 hours. I never quite achieved the point of living and breathing it so naturally as is shown here but I can guarantee that it's a learned skill that anyone can do.
