Résumé

In 1949, Evelyn Boyd Granville shattered a barrier decades before the mainstream Civil Rights Movement, becoming only the second African American woman to earn a Ph. D. in mathematics in the United States. But her story didn't end with that academic triumph; it was merely the rigorous training ground for a life spent defining the American technological future. The Synthesis of Mind and Mission chronicles Granville's extraordinary journey from the segregated brilliance of Washington D.
C. to the launch consoles of the Cold War. After mastering abstract theory at Yale, she joined IBM to become a computational architect, writing the complex programs that calculated the critical orbital trajectories for Project Mercury, ensuring the safe passage of America's first astronauts. Yet, perhaps her greatest legacy lies in her final, powerful pivot. Recognizing the urgent need for foundational knowledge, she left the industry to pioneer university computer science curricula and dedicate herself to mentoring diverse students.
This definitive biography is a tribute to a woman whose intellectual rigor shaped both the U. S. space program and the educational landscape, proving that brilliance and perseverance know no boundaries.    Approx.135 pages, 25600 word count
