Children and adults will both love this story whether they love or hate math. An inspiring tale of a young girl who wanted to give up on mathematics while in school, but persevered and eventually discovered a love for something that she once hated. This story can be told in every classroom to increase awareness of a great individual who lived a life that made math more doable for more people. An inspiring story.
