July 2016 FAS Meeting

The Harvard Computers at work

This month’s meeting of the Forsyth Astronomical Society will be on July 26th at 7:30pm at Sciworks. The presentation will be given by club VP Priscilla Ivester on the “Harvard Computers”, an often overlooked group of gifted female mathematicians who did the majority of the astronomical calculations for the predominately male dominated field. These ladies’ contributions and skill helped shape the view of the universe as we understand it today.

Following the presentation portion we will have a brief business meeting and as always there will be an informal social gathering 30 minutes or so before the meeting. All meetings are open to the public and free of charge, all are welcome. Hope to see you there.
