Jean Bartik WITI Hall of Famer & ENIAC Pioneer Jean Bartik Honored by the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley

Watch Jean's Inspirational Story on YouTube!

Born on a farm in Missouri, the sixth of seven children, Jean Jennings Bartik always went in search of adventure. Bartik majored in mathematics at Northwest Missouri State Teachers College (now Northwest Missouri State University). During her college years, WWII broke out, and in 1945, at age 20, Bartik answered the government's call for women math majors to join a project in Philadelphia calculating ballistics firing tables for the artillery developed for the war effort. A new employee of the Army's Ballistics Research Labs, she joined over 80 women calculating ballistics trajectories (differential calculus equations) by hand - her job title: "Computer".

Do You Need a Reason to be Happy?
By Jane Herman

Jane Herman Most of us hold firmly to a belief in cause and effect. We believe that everything has a precipitating cause - thus everything must also have a "reason." And we are hooked on looking for these reasons. To find the reasons behind what we see, experience, or feel we ask questions - of others, of ourselves, of God or the universe, or of no one in particular ("Why in the world did that have to happen?").
