| I found Hamilton's work described in a book "System Design from
| Provably Correct Constructs"

| operations that preserve certain correctness properties, thus
| eliminating many categories of bugs. It grew out of her work on
| Apollo 11.

| She's credited with coining the term "software engineering".
