The Queen of Indian Mathematics

by Samaira Jain aged 10

A calculator was born
Not it but she
Not a normal one, but a special one
Called as a human calculator
This calculator had an
Immense passion for numbers
She, she was born on 4th of November in 1929
Her name was Shakuntala Devi
The first woman mathematician in India
And even known as
The Queen of Indian Mathematics
She was able to calculate lengthy calculations
In her head swiftly
And without any calculator
In a split second
Shakuntala would complete massive calculations
She, a humble personality
Shakuntala Devi an inspiration for all
Shakuntala cherished to simplify the magic of arithmetic
She playing in a role of three people
A mother, a wife and a genius mathematician
