<p>Every once in a while, there is an article that appears trivial but should not be dismissed or ignored … at all. </p>

<p>Here’s one about a company called HeyMath</p>

<p><a href=“http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/5203440.stm[/url]”>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/5203440.stm&lt;/a&gt; </p>

<p>When I read the article about HeyMath, the India-based online maths tutoring company which uses innovative, interactive lessons, peppered with animation, graphics and quizzes, I admit I cringed. What was coming to mind? Not much except the utterly moronic and pathetic attempts by the SAT Prep industry to bring the Playstation crowd to the world of easy mathematics. While there are companies that produce high level courses which use some animation, they also tend to turn into a rather boring affair. </p>

<p>Well, based on a very crude review of what this company offers, I can only say … WOW! </p>

<p>Of course, I should have known about this, but it would have required paying more attention to the OpEd maestros at the NYTimes. Thomas L. Friedman called it first! </p>

<p>Oh well, what do they say about blind hogs and acorns?</p>
