Numbers have life; they're not just symbols on paper.
From Shakuntala Devi
Why do children dread mathematics? Because of the wrong approach. Because it is looked at as a subject.
I have written a book called 'In the Wonderland of Numbers.' It's about a young girl, Neha, who is very poor in mathematics, but in a series of illusory experiences, she becomes a great mathematician.
I relax completely when I'm at rest. I don't think of numbers; I don't think of work.
I have been running maths clubs for children completely free. In my building in Bangalore, I conduct maths clubs for several months, and every child who attended the club was poor in mathematics and is now showing brilliant results.
I don't even possess a car. I ride in auto-rickshaws because I like to be a part of the masses. I don't want to single myself out as someone up and above.
