Hi Mia. How's that homework? You know, about child prodigies.

Oh yeah. Hmm, math. I can't really do all those difficult maths exercises at school. 

Oh, I can sometimes. That's why I wanted to write about this girl. 

Say, what did you learn about her? 

Well, she's British. She's from the UK and she was born in Brighton. Her parents were both computer programmers, but she didn't go to school, her father stopped working when she was five, so he could teach her at home.

Wow.

So she started University at the age of twelve, and she was the youngest student to get a degree from Oxford University in modern times. She was only thirteen.

So what happened after that? 

Well, she did work in universities, and she became a professor at America University of the age of twenty two. And she's now an expert in a particular type of maths.
