Currently, we can think that men were the first people that develop software or code to implement in some primitive computers, but it didn't happen in this way. For example, when Charlas Babbage create your Analytical Machine a woman was the first programmer when she designed a problem that make a Bernoulli sequence of numbers. Nevertheless, she wasn't the only one women that innovate in computational science. Around the history there were other important women that think very complex solutions to solve complicated problem that was the base for the current programs and software that exist. Whereupon doubt arises of knowing why decrease the number of programmers women that there are this times being that they are the pioneers in this topic.
I think it's sad that in our times it doesn't happen oftentimes. Computational science could look like a complicate topic, however there are people that they are so intelligent and brilliant to create new solution and proposals to solve complex programs or problems. Nowadays, there are a great a percent of men in computational science innovating and designing new software and hardware. Even so, what happen with women? what is the reason for that a great number of girls doesn't encourage to study computational science? Through the history they have shown that are too intelligent to design and solve computational problems.
Personally, we should encourage to the people to study computational science because it could be their vocation. There are many study ways within computational science, it's so possible that one of these is interesting. Besides, we have the homework to show; as a programmers and computational engineers, that computational science it doesn't difficult that we think and it possible that someone be a super genius designed to solve computational science problems.
