Florence Joy Weldon (née Tebb, 1858 – 1936) was an English mathematician who worked as "one of the first college-educated human computers,"[1] analysing data about biological variation.
Florence worked as Weldon’s chief computer in analysing the data collected by measuring the specimens.
[7] Florence’s contribution was acknowledged by her long-time friend and correspondent Karl Pearson, who completed her husband's manuscripts after his death.
[6] In 1928, Florence received an honorary degree of Master of Arts from the University of Oxford after making a significant bequest of French paintings there.
[6] Florence died in 1936, leaving the residue of her estate to establish a Chair of Biometry at the University of London.
