  1. Anamitra Choudhuri

    The eBook provides a brilliant overview of Shakuntala Devi’s talents and achievements. It’s well-written, but including real-world examples of how her mathematical abilities were applied would enrich the narrative.

  2. Joydev Ghosh

    I thoroughly enjoyed ‘Shakuntala Devi: The Human Computer.’ It’s a well-researched eBook, but it could be enhanced with visual aids, such as illustrations of some of her famous calculations.

  3. Sayanta Kr Kuila

    This eBook on Shakuntala Devi is a fascinating tribute to an extraordinary woman. It offers insight into her mathematical prowess, yet I’d love to see more personal anecdotes to connect with her on a deeper level.

    Shakuntala Devi: The Human Computer’ is a tribute to an exceptional mind. To make it even more engaging, a section discussing her influence on the world of mathematics and mental calculation techniques could be a valuable addition.

    Shakuntala Devi: The Human Computer’ is a captivating eBook that brings to life the genius of this mathematical prodigy. However, a more in-depth exploration of her personal life and challenges would make it even more compelling.
