Movie Night “Gifted”

Charlotte Scott Centre for Algebra

On the evening of Friday the 19th of October 2018, the students and staff of the School of Mathematics and Physics got together to watch the movie Gifted, which was about a single man raising a mathematically gifted 7-year-old girl. It was a very enjoyable film with entertaining characters, with an insight to the choices one has to make when dealing with a child prodigy.
