The Nature of Numbers

I wanted to share with you all a five-minute clip about Jaime Escalante, the hero of the movie “Stand and Deliver” about a teacher who believes in the potential of his students and uses mathematics to help them realize it. Escalante believed math is the great equalizer because if you can figure out the patterns, the logic of math, you can do anything. His students, from the barrio in LA, go to National Math competitions, end up winning, and then go on to higher education. A very inspiring story.

Here’s the clip!
