▶ Subscribe FreeAbout Neil Armstrong
Neil Armstrong was a Applied Mathematics mathematician born in 1930. He landed on the Moon by trusting mathematics absolutely.
First Moon landing — trajectory mathematics, lunar orbit insertion, landing ellipse. This breakthrough changed the trajectory of mathematics at a time when the world was in the 20th century, an era of unprecedented mathematical discovery.
The impact is still felt today. Apollo 11's trajectory was one of the most complex mathematical calculations ever done.
