---My Introduction---
- Hi, I'm Daniel5127. Occasionally, I consider myself as Mathematician because I like to study the Mathematics such as Calculus. I first discovered the Wikipedia in June 2005. As a Wikipedian, I'm a 20 year old boy (teenager) as College student, and live in Los Angeles, California, America. I will help you with anything if you don't know how to use Wikipedia, you don't understand the way of using in Wikipedia, or have any problems with editing. I've been a Wikipedian since March 3, 2006. So, I'm glad to see you. Ahh, my hobby is to study Science, because I want to be scientist in the future. I'm quite proud of being chinese Wikipedian. I'm also interested in Astrology, something that tells about fortune of the day. The astrology book is called The New Astrology. This book is dedicated to everyone.
Mary Jackson (1921–2005) was an American mathematician and aerospace engineer at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics and its successor, NASA. She worked at Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, for most of her career. She started as a computer at the segregated West Area Computing division in 1951. In 1958, after taking engineering classes, she became NASA's first black female engineer. Jackson had earned the most senior engineering title available by 1979 and realized she could not earn further promotions without becoming a supervisor. She accepted a demotion to become a manager of both NASA's federal women's program and the affirmative action program. Her work sought to influence the career paths of women in science, engineering, and mathematics positions at NASA. Jackson is one of the leading characters in the 2016 book Hidden Figures and one of the three protagonists in the book's film adaptation, released the same year. This NASA photograph of Jackson was taken in 1979.Photograph credit: NASA; restored by Adam Cuerden
Awarded to Daniel for never letting others make you angry or sad (even the grumpy vandals!), for alwaysassuming good faith in every situation (whether you know that or not!), for always asking questions when you don't understand and learning from others answers... and, for just being a kind-hearted great-natured wikipedian! Congrats! - Glen 16:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
