He never learned to tie his shoes or do his own laundry, but he became a brilliant and beloved mathematician. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the age of four, he could ask you when you were born and then calculate the number of seconds you had been alive in his head. But he didn't learn to butter his own bread until he turned twenty. Instead, he traveled around the world, from one mathematician to the next, collaborating on an astonishing number of publications. With a simple, lyrical text and richly layered illustrations, this is a beautiful introduction to the world of math and a fascinating look at the unique character traits that made \"Uncle Paul\" a great man. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e Best Book of 2013 \u003cbr\u003eA \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review \u003c\/i\u003eNotable Children's Book of 2013\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDeborah Heiligman\u003c\/b\u003e​ has written many books for children and young​ adults, including \u003ci\u003eTorpedoed: The True Story of the​ World War II Sinking of \"The Children's Ship,\"\u003c\/i\u003e a​ YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction Award finalist and Golden Kite winner; \u003ci\u003eVincent and Theo: ​ The Van Gogh Brothers\u003c\/i\u003e, a Michael L.
