I learned operations research from a professor from India. He was one really sharp cookie. I remember he gave us a problem and watched with amusement as we furiously pounded our calculators. When we arrived at a concensus answer, which he wrote on the board, he asked us to give some random but reasonable substitute inputs for the initial problem. He wrote those down also and immediately wrote another number by the first answer and said, "Check this number over the weekend." Smiling slyly he said, "I noticed that every one of you used a calculator, and most got it wrong initially. I never use a calculator and yet I come from a backward Third-World country." Then he smiled again, dismissed the class and left the room before us all--I guess it was the awful sight of so many shocked, slack-jawed people.

India has turned a corner, they are on a path of development that has already put them miles beyond where they used to be. Applied mathematical skills and educational meritocracy will make that country a technological powerhouse in the future.
