Naomi Livesay French was a mathematician at Los Alamos Laboratory during the Manhattan Project. Working in the Theoretical Division, French and the other women in the computing group were a part of the development of the Little Boy weapon design through their critical mass calculations. The group worked to solve complex equations in correlation with computing results in order to solve various theoretical problems related to weapons design.

French was a 1937 undergraduate of Cornell College who went on to complete an M.A. at the University of Wisconsin. Prior to her relocation to Los Alamos to work on the Manhattan Project, French was an assistant in the math department at the University of Illinois, Urbana.^[1]
