This textbook presents essential methodology for physicists of the theory and applications of fluid mechanics within a single volume. Building steadily through a syllabus, it will be relevant to almost all undergraduate physics degrees which include an option on hydrodynamics, or a course in which hydrodynamics figures prominently.

The stories explain the most significant parts of each character’s life, giving an insight into how they came to be such an important historic figure.After each story, a timeline presents the most major events in their life in a clear and succinct fashion. The timeline is ideal for checking comprehension or as a basis for project work or further research.Created in association with The Amazing People Club.About Collins ELT Readers:Collins ELT Readers are divided into four levels:Level 1 – elementary (A2)Level 2 – pre-intermediate (A2–B1)Level 3 – intermediate (B1)Level 4 – upper intermediate (B2)Each level is carefully graded to ensure that the learner both enjoys and benefits from their reading experience.

Before John Glenn orbited the Earth or astronauts walked on the moon, a group of dedicated female mathematicians known as «human computers» used their knowledge, pencils, adding machines, and writing paper to calculate the orbital mechanics needed to launch spacecraft. Katherine Johnson was one of these mathematicians who used trajectories and complex equations to chart the space program. Even as Virginia's Jim Crow laws were in place in the early 1950s, Katherine worked analyzing data at the NACA (later NASA) Langley laboratory. In 1962, as NASA prepared for the orbital mission of John Glenn, Katherine Johnson was called upon, and John Glenn said «get the girl» (Katherine Johnson) to run the numbers by hand to chart the complexity of the orbital flight. He knew that his flight couldn't work without her unique skills. President Barack Obama awarded Katherine Johnson the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015, and her incredible life inspired the Oscar-nominated film Hidden Figures.
