BOOK TIP: Struck by Genius: How a Brain Injury Made Me a Mathematical Genius by Jason Padgett
Jason Padgett had a hard time passing pre-algebra in high school. A violent mugging left him with a brain injury, but also "acquired savant syndrome with mathematical synthesia". He is now a mathematical genius and has an amazing ability to draw geometric shapes and patterns he sees in ordinary things like water out of the drain. Some of this artwork is in the book. An amazing journey.
