Careers for tech girls in math / by Hagler, Gina,author.(CARDINAL)354268;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Making it big in math: career fields -- Statistics and finance: using numbers to tell a story -- Computer science and cryptology: spotting patterns -- Educating others: sharing your love of math -- Theoretical and applied mathematics: using math to imagine possibilities and solve -- Problems -- Operations research and optimization engineering: math to the rescue -- Getting your first job -- Lifelong learning: advancing up the ladder."Thanks to the popular misconception that girls are not good at math, careers in mathematics for women have historically been limited. Those who did work in the field were considered unfeminine and unappealing. All that is changing with concerted efforts to emphasize math education for girls and to expose girls to potential careers in mathematics. This resource suggests a variety of careers that rely on the study of mathematics and explains how to pursue them. Readers will also be advised about how to land their first job and how to advance up the career ladder"--Provided by the publisher.Grades 7 to 12.

Dreaming in code : Ada Byron Lovelace, computer pioneer./ by McCully, Emily Arnold,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 154-157) and index.1816-1824. Born into scandal ; Mother and child with governesses ; She has a father -- 1825-1832. Her imagination soars ; Guarded by furies ; An elopement -- 1833-1835. Meeting Babbage ; A role model ; Courtship and marriage -- 1836-1842. Motherhood ; Grasping for mathematics ; The new engine ; A restless student -- 1842-1852. Masterwork ; At loose ends ; Restless spirit ; An awful death.Even by 1800s standards, Ada Byron Lovelace had an unusual upbringing. Her narcissistic mother worked hard at cultivating her own role as martyred ex-wife of bad-boy poet Lord Byron and had Ada tutored at home by some of the brightest minds. Ada developed a hunger for mental puzzles, mathematical conundrums, and scientific discovery that kept pace with the breathtaking advances of the industrial and social revolutions taking place in Europe. At seventeen, Ada met inventor Charles Babbage. In spite of the difference of their years, they were kindred spirits and intellects. Their ensuing collaborations would ultimately result in ideas that presaged computer programming by a century. Ada Lovelace is today recognized and celebrated as a pioneer and a prophet of the information age.1110LAccelerated Reader AR
