Description
Sarah Flannery's remarkable journey from teenager to international mathematician is told in this heartwarming story. In 1999, at just 16 years old, she was awarded Ireland's Young Scientist of the Year for her groundbreaking research and discoveries in Internet cryptography. As her story unfolded, Sarah moved from simple math puzzles to complex concepts like prime numbers, the Sieve of Eratosthenes, Fermat's Little Theorem, and her own algorithm. Alongside each step, she discovered more about herself - her values, curiosity, persistence, and love for her family. This memoir in mathematics is a testament to Sarah Flannery's intellectual adventure and her journey from girl next door to mathematician with an international reputation.
