Shakuntala Devi, who solved complex mathematical equations mentally and defeated computers through the 1970s and 80s, died after a heart attack in Bangalore on Sunday.
Born to a rebellious father who threw away brahmin trappings to join the circus, Devi showed signs of wizardry when she was just three. At the peak of her abilities, Devi beat one of the world’s fastest computers by 10 seconds in a complicated cuberoot calculation. Few knew she had never been to school.
