If u dont want to appreciate ,atleast dont criticise.
If i ask u wat is 12x15,you r definitely going to struggle.!!!!!!!!!!!!
If such people were not there ,then mathematics wont be the same as now.
So please respect such people.

@Zoidypoo89 this is not meant to be hurtful or anything but if you knew anything about her, she has written numerous books and her logic comparative to others leaves littles to nothing to be desired.

I saw a similar person like her named Arthur Benjamin.

The best calculating machine ever, simply a genius.. I ll meet her on Monday.. she is in Mauritius rite now.. I guess that it would be an unforgettable moment in my life..

@theMexperiment I heard the 'quadratic equation', and I ALSO heard 'binomial'... but didn't know what came AFTER it.
Thank You SO MUCH, Dear Stranger.
I REALLY DO appreciate that.
Thank You.

What does she say at 6:33?
I REALLY did NOT understand that.
The crowd's reaction distorted the audibility of her punch line.

@foolofaguyinlove She's sharing a joke about somebody she knew who hated Math so much that they wouldn't use "four letter words" to abuse someone, they'd say "You, binomial theorem!" or "You, quadratic equation!"

Very nice video. Have you followed her puzzles? There was one, something like:
Finding out the number from what we think! Say, if we think a number (in mind) say 24...she can find out that number with a logical method.
Do you know?

Thanks akula2shark - no, I haven't followed her puzzles and she didn't perform the one you're talking about at our university so I don't know!
