Mary Fix and solve a difficult Math problem - Genius

Gifted is a 2017 American drama film directed by Marc Webb and written by Tom Flynn. It stars Chris Evans, Mckenna Grace, Lindsay Duncan, Jenny Slate and Octavia Spencer. The plot follows an intellectually gifted 7-year-old who becomes the subject of a custody battle between her uncle and grandmother

Fun fact: When you get good at maths, a whole orchestra materialises behind you and starts playing a tune.

Love this scene. As smart as she is, she's still a child. He was expecting an adult's reaction: An adult would've bragged and showed off; she had no ambition to do so, just innocent of the desire for recognition like the "pompous" professor and her equally pompous grandmother. I think I the professor was humbled though, whereas the grandmother's ego and pride were unfortunately further inflated.

The mathematicans were too busy stockpiling the chalk.

"no one likes a smartass" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

"He forgot the negative on the X component, it went down hill from there"

She is so smart, she got a role on Young Sheldon.

Those 'mistakes' in the equation were actually intentional. The professor wanted to test Mary's skills and see if she could spot and solve those errors correctly. It's a brilliant way to challenge students and encourage critical thinking. Mary definitely proved herself by identifying and fixing those mistakes flawlessly.

The scene is so inspiring! I get goosebumps every time I watch this scene.

I never understood why the grandmother calls this "some random, massive problem", when it's neither random nor massive. This is one of the most famous calculus problems in existence, and everybody with an undergrad level math education or above will have seen it and learned how to solve it, as well as know about its significance and some of its applications. It's practically as famous as the constant pi.

The professor intentionally introduced a simple and obvious error and everyone in the room knew it, grandmother included.

Her reaction is out of character for a mathematician, she should have called it what it is: not a massive random problem but rather a silly little prank. The child's reaction ("smartass") is accurate.

Love this scene, almost as much as the elementary scene.

The student at the behind: damn this little shit is smarter than me

Problem is area under Gaussian. Or integral of e^-(x^2). Classic solution is to have the integral squared equal to the same but x^2+y^2. Then with the jacobian you get an integral that is easily solvable via inspection or a simple u-sub.

[Maxwell_Integral]

This is actually a quite simple calculus 3 question. All you really need to know is your formula for Gaussians or if you want to prove it you need to know how to change into polar coordinates and use the jacobian then you would use a basic u-sub to receive the correct answer

TITLE: GIFTED. Enjoy guys. Goosebumps.

“ nobody likes a smartass!!” Indeed they don’t!! LOL.

[Faith_JesusVersion]

This movie is called: GIFTED in all caps.

She forgot to put the minus sign in the exponent but still I love it is a multivariable calculus problem which is hard for many of the graduates students to solve

Other girl in the autitorium with the dark hair is like "Yupp! That's it... i'll be home eating ice cream...".

There's your little Barbie doll to smart... 😂😂😂

She isn't Gifted. She is a Savant.
