I just finished a run of twelve years as the director of a math competition for high school students here in the Southeastern US. She begins asking the teacher intelligent questions about it and begging her mom to get her copies of the papers.Ī major plot point is her journey to Scotland to participate in a math competitionwith a 5,000 pound prize in order to raise the extra money she would need to attend the school. She recognizes that the papers are on renewal theory, a subject she learned about on the Internet (and you can, too!). She ignores what he's saying, but concentrates both on the cookies and the papers. For instance, when she first meets the maths department head at the school he offers her biscuits and some of his research papers to look at. Like other children her age, she ignores the droning of adults saying things that she finds uninteresting, but what she does find interesting is unusual. She notices quantities of things (cars in a car park) and estimates the measure of angles in the world around her (the cars again, or a trimmed hedge).

In those chapters written from Tanzie's point of view, we learn a lot about how she thinks. However, more importantly for this Website, the mathematical nature of the title is inspired by Jess' eight year old daughter, Tanzie, whose mathematical ability has earned her a scholarship from a prestigious private school. The title presumably primarily refers to the couple in the romance: Jess (a single mom struggling to make ends meet by working as a cleaning woman) and Ed (a well-off client of hers, facing charges for insider trading).
