In a small town in central Florida, seven-year-old Mary shows remarkable
mathematical talent on her first day of school. She is offered a
scholarship to a private school for gifted children but her uncle turns it down. It emerges that Mary's mother had been a promising mathematician, dedicated to the Navier–Stokes problem (one of the Millennium Prize Problems) before committing suicide when Mary was six months old. Since then her uncle Frank has acted as Mary's de facto
guardian. Believing that his sister would want Mary to experience a
"normal" childhood, Frank is adamant that Mary be enrolled in regular
public school. However, she somehow has already mastered advanced calculus
before first grade. Frank's mother (Mary's maternal -grandmother) seeks
custody in the Florida courts, believing that Mary is a
"one-in-a-billion" mathematical prodigy who should be specially tutored
in preparation for a life devoted to mathematics.
