论文摘要
第二次世界大战后的几十年来，讨论了剑桥大学卡文迪许实验室的科学计算历史。这涵盖了用于射电天文学的孔径合成技术的开发，以及如何使用大学数学实验室开发的新计算技术：EDSAC，EDSAC 2和Titan Computers开发的新计算技术。它着眼于射电天文学组的科学进步，尤其是与稳态假设相矛盾的证据的组装。它还研究了允许构建更大望远镜的软件进步：快速的傅立叶变换（FFT）和脱速算法。在整个过程中，从她们为科学出版物，编程和操作计算机到撰写科学论文的图表，都发现了女性的贡献。
A discussion of the history of scientific computing for Radio Astronomy in the Cavendish Laboratory of the University of Cambridge in the decades after the Second World War. This covers the development of the aperture synthesis technique for Radio Astronomy and how that required using the new computing technology developed by the University's Mathematical Laboratory: the EDSAC, EDSAC 2 and TITAN computers. It looks at the scientific advances made by the Radio Astronomy group, particularly the assembling of evidence which contradicted the Steady State Hypothesis. It also examines the software advances that allowed bigger telescopes to be built: the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and the degridding algorithm. Throughout, the contribution of women is uncovered, from the diagrams they drew for scientific publications, through programming and operating computers, to writing scientific papers.
