The Math of Dr. Gladys West Made GPS Accurate | Black STEM History

Before smartphones and Google Maps, Dr. Gladys West was programming room-sized computers for the U.S. Navy.

She studied satellite data and built mathematical models that helped scientists understand the exact shape of the Earth — making modern GPS accurate.

Without her math, GPS would not work the way it does today.

This is Black history.
This is STEM education.
This is technology history every child should learn.
