@gintamacountry yeah, it had romance because of magazine it run in. But mathematics were solid there.
Here it's handweaving, and I have to take your word for it when you say there won't be any romance.
@Tikibo I find this one more interesting. It tries to convey the charm of math (handwaving or not).
Also, it figures that the girls fav mathematician is Ramanujan from the way she thinks itself. What I don't know is with such an interest in math, why is the girl so weak (relatively speaking) in math. Did she get interested in math only recently (6 months time-frame can work, > 1 yr wouldn't cut it).
My mom taught high school math for 30 years. Her best student was Melanie Matchett Wood, the first girl to qualify for the US team at the International Math Olympiad (and now a Harvard professor and a MacArthur Fellow).
