Rebeca Guber

Rebeca Cherep de Guber (2 July 1926 – 25 August 2020) was an Argentine mathematician, university professor, textbook author, and 1960s pioneer in the development of computer science in Argentina.[5] In 1960, she was part of the group of scientists and teachers who created the Argentine Calculation Society, under the direction of Manuel Sadosky, with whom, years before, she had written the textbook, Elements of Differential and Integral Calculus.[4] In 1966, with Argentina's coup d'état that removed the president from power and culminated in the Night of the Long Batons, scientists and researchers massively resigned from institutes and universities.After Rebeca Guber, Juan Ángel Chamero and David Jacovkis resigned their positions there[4] and under the leadership of Manuel Sadosky, they founded a consultancy firm called Scientific Technical Advisors (ACT), in part to prevent the institute's lines of research and work from being totally abandoned.After the return of Argentinian democracy and the election of president Raúl Alfonsín at the end of 1983, Guber continued to work with Sadosky when he was named the Nation's Secretariat of Science and Technology.
